      Appellants: Armin Maletic, Marianne Maletic
   
      Respondents: lastminute.com GmbH, TUI Österreich GmbH
   
      Question referred
   
   Is Article 16(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, (1) which confers jurisdiction on the courts for the place where the consumer is domiciled, to be interpreted as meaning that, in the case where the other party (here, a travel 
         agent
       having its seat abroad) has recourse to a contracting partner (here, a travel 
         operator
       having its seat in the home country), Article 16(1) of Regulation No 44/2001 is, for the purpose of proceedings brought against those two parties, also applicable to the contracting partner in the home country?
