Judgment_paragraph 48 · A1 and A2 v I (C-352/21)

48Lastly, as regards the objectives pursued by Regulation No 1215/2012, it is apparent from recital 18 of that regulation 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).
