2014/C 9/20
Language of the case: German
Applicant: Armin Maletic, Marianne Maletic
Defendant: lastminute.com GmbH, TUI Österreich GmbH
Request for a preliminary ruling — Landesgericht Feldkirch — Interpretation of 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 (OJ 2001 L 12, p. 1) — Jurisdiction in respect of contracts entered into by consumers — All-inclusive travel contract concluded between a consumer and a company — Situation in which the company is established in a Member State other than that of the consumer and has recourse, for the purpose of performing that contract, to a company which is established in the Member State of the consumer — Whether the consumer is entitled to bring proceedings, before the court of his place of residence, against those two companies
The concept of ‘other party to the contract’ laid down in 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 must be interpreted as meaning, in circumstances such as those at issue in the main proceedings, that it also covers the contracting partner of the operator with which the consumer concluded that contract and which has its registered office in the Member State in which the consumer is domiciled.
