per procurationem Explanation: Ι. Χρυσοβιτσιώτης - Ι. Σταυρακόπουλος ΛΕΞΙΚΟ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs 13 mins (2004-11-22 07:26:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 1) per procurationem \'by agency\'; by agent or proxy (abbr. p.p. or per pro.). © From the Hutchinson Encyclopaedia. Helicon Publishing LTD 2000. www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/dictionaries/ difficultwords/data/d0009875.html 2) p.p., per pro, or per proxy - isn\'t this Latin for \'per procurationem\', meaning \'through the agency of\', which is the exact opposite of \'on behalf of\'? I\'ve seen a great many official forms and letters in which it is apparently wrongly used; e.g. a teller signing \'John Smith p.p. The Bank of England\' instead of \'The Bank of England p.p. John Smith\'. Or simply \'p.p.John Smith\'. Doesn\'t this make the poor teller personally responsible for any huge legal or financial liabilities the B of E might incur? www.wordwizard.com/clubhouse/founddiscuss1.asp?Num=6221 3)p.p. = Latin per procurationem (by proxy) Latin per procurationem (by proxy) www.bartleby.com/61/59/P0495900.html 4) pp = per procurationem (A Latin phrase meaning that you are signing the letter on somebody else\'s behalf; if they are not there to sign it themselves, etc) www.usingenglish.com/articles/letter-writing.html 5)p.p. This stands for the Latin «per pro» or «per procurationem». p.p. is used when someone signs a letter by authority or proxy because another person is not available. The ending: «Arne Olsen, pp. Hans Chr. Wiig», means that Arne Olsen has signed on Hans Chr. Wiig\'s behalf. In the USA, p.p. is uncommon and an equivalent expression is: «Signed by ... in the absence of ...». www.ntnu.no/universitetsavisa/0498/stewart.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs 28 mins (2004-11-22 07:41:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 6) p.p. * on behalf of * (lat.: per procurationem) www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/words/commercial_abk.htm 7)Per Pro.
