49In the third and last place, as regards the objectives pursued by the provisions which are relevant to the present case, it should be observed that, according to the case-law of the Court, it is apparent from recital 18 of Regulation No 1215/2012 that actions in insurance matters are characterised by a certain imbalance between the parties, which the provisions of Section 3 of Chapter II of that regulation are intended to correct by giving the weaker party the benefit of rules of jurisdiction more favourable to his or her interests than the general rules (judgment of 9 December 2021, BT (Action against the insured), C‑708/20, EU:C:2021:986, paragraph 32 and the case-law cited).
