Abstract: The purchase of a craft for private and recreational purposes and an international hull insurance contract containing a jurisdiction clause: do the rules on international jurisdiction of Regulation 1215/2012 allow it? The answer depends on whether it constitutes “a large risks insurance” or not. The Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in case 352-21 solves this preliminary ruling with a systematic and finalist approach.
