         Operative part of the order
      
      Article 1(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘civil and commercial matters’, within the meaning of that provision, covers an action to recover, through legal proceedings, a charge relating to the use of a toll road, brought by a company authorised in accordance with the law, which classifies the relationship arising from that usage as being governed by private law.
