Article 24(1) and (5) 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 an action brought by a pledgee challenging the distribution of the proceeds from a judicially ordered auction of a property and seeking, first, the finding that a competing debt has been extinguished by reason of a financial settlement and, second, that the pledge guaranteeing enforcement of that latter debt is unenforceable, does not come within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Member State where the property is situated or of the courts of the place of enforcement.
