Which articles govern ordinary jurisdiction (compétences ordinaires) under Brussels Ibis as indicated?

Ordinary jurisdiction is the default rule for where a civil action can be brought when no special or exclusive forum applies. In Brussels Ibis, the baseline rules come from two provisions. The first sets the general principle that a person domiciled in a Member State should be sued in the courts of that State, giving the claimant a straightforward link to the defendant’s home forum. The second provides an additional ordinary-means route to jurisdiction, reinforcing the default framework and allowing another connection to a Member State tied to the defendant or the obligation in question. Together, these two articles establish the normal, non-special path for determining which court has jurisdiction, which is why they are identified as governing ordinary jurisdiction.
