64In addition, the Court has, admittedly, held that the concept of ‘other party to the contract’ set out in Article 16(1) of Regulation No 44/2001 must be interpreted as also covering the contracting partner of the operator with which the consumer concluded that contract (see, to that effect, judgment of 14 November 2013, Maletic, C‑478/12, EU:C:2013:735, paragraph 32). However, that interpretation rests on specific circumstances, in which the consumer was from the outset contractually linked, inseparably, to two contracting partners (judgment of 28 January 2015, Kolassa, C‑375/13, EU:C:2015:37, paragraph 33).
