German term

p.A.

German to English Law/Patents Law (general)
I don't understand this acronym (nor text that follows, in context).

It appears in a legal document where the Plaintiff's name is listed:

"Mrs. X geb. Y, von [City], p. A. Unterzeichnender vertretend durch unterzeichnende Anwalt"

Could p.A mean "per Adresse" or perhaps "persönlich anwesend"? But in the first case, should there not be an address there? Also, in that case, is p.A. syntactically linked to "Unterzeichnender " or should there be a full stop here?

I would be thankful for quick help.
Proposed translations (English)
3 -2 p.A. -> per annum / pro anno

It is definitely "per Adresse" - nothing else makes sense in the context. Stuart and Aida should post this as an answer for grading.
Jens Lindén (asker) Apr 14, 2021:
Stuart and Aida: It's clear from another instance that it's per Adresse (c/o), i.e. any acts should be sent to the defender's office. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Please post a suggestion shortly if you want some kudoz points.

p. A. Beklagte Partei

Per Adresse could make some sense. It just doesn't look like that's a full stop period.
Stuart and Aida Nelson Apr 13, 2021:
Does p. A. relates to the plaintiff or to the solicitor? It could be a typo for per procura autoritate ppa. However, ppa is usually used in commercial documents not in legal document

Hello, I am not sure of this but it's at least something for you to look into.

See the reference.
