52Since the concept of ‘habitual residence’ reflects essentially a question of fact (judgment of 8 June 2017, OL, C‑111/17 PPU, EU:C:2017:436, paragraph 51), it is for the referring court to verify, on the basis of all the factual circumstances specific to the present case, whether the Member State of the national court seised by IB corresponds to the place where the applicant is habitually resident, within the meaning of the sixth indent of Article 3(1)(a) of Regulation No 2201/2003 (see, by analogy, judgments of 2 April 2009, A, C‑523/07, EU:C:2009:225, paragraph 42, and of 28 June 2018, HR, C‑512/17, EU:C:2018:513, paragraph 41).
