Swedish term or phrase: ./.

Can anyone tell me what ./. usually means in legal documents when written between the names of 2 parties for example? I've also seen it between a party and the name of a representative and assumed it meant "through". Do I generally assume correctly?
TIA

v.

Explanation:
"v." (or "v" without the period, in UK usage) is the preferred US and UK abbrev. for versus esp. when used as the name of a case and certainly when used as a published judicial decision.

Example sentence(s):

<i>Brown v. Board of Education</i>
