s/ Recurso extraordinario

English translation: re. extraordinary appeal

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase: s/ Recurso extraordinario
English translation:re. extraordinary appeal
Entered by: Charles Davis

13:18 Dec 10, 2012
Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - International Org/Dev/Coop / human rights court cases
Spanish term or phrase: s/ Recurso extraordinario
Tribunal Constitucional, Sala Segunda, Cámara Peruana de la Construcción-CAPECO s/ Recurso extraordinario, [date]

This is from the title of the summary of the ruling in a collective bargaining dispute. Any ideas what the "s/" might mean?
Here's another heading where this "s/" appears:

Corte Suprema de Justicia de la República, Sala de Derecho Constitucional y Social Permanente, Seguro Social de Salud (ESSALUD) s/ Recurso de Casación [date] [case no.]

I have a few ideas and my client has suggested that it stands for "re." but I have no reason to believe that is the correct translation, save that they tell me someone else translated it like that in the past.

Any ideas?
UK Eng.
Thanks in advance.

re. extraordinary appeal
Explanation:
This is quite a coincidence, because I very recently answered a question on s/, where it definitely meant "sobre"; that was from Argentina and this is apparently from Peru, but I'm sure it's the same. So the suggestion of "re." is spot on, at least for the UK.

(Make that "extraordinaRio".)

The recent question was about "s/ inf.", which meant "sobre infracción", again in legal case references. (The question is still open, but I'm sure I'm right :) )

For references to just the interpretation s/ = sobre here, please see the previous question.

A judge's mouth is as good as a horse's for this! Thanks for letting me (us) know :)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Charles: as always, super helpful - and right. I just got an e-mail back from the client confirming exactly what you say. "s/" in this context is "sobre", and their answer came from a judge, so I'm 100% sure you are right. Once again, thanks so much for your help. :)

agree  María Iademarco: It could also stand for "según" meaning "according to"

  -> True, or of course "sin", which is probably what it stands for most often, but here I think it's got to be "sobre". Thanks, Gabia :)
