Law/Patents - Law (general) / Trial
Croatian term or phrase: od Mate iz Kanade
In this sentence there are several names, including the prosecutor, followed by "od + name":

u pravnoj stvari tužitelja Alberta Žmaka od Mate iz Kanade
protiv tuženice Nives Berne od Romana, rođene Božić, iz Bala-Valle,
tuženice Marije Savin od Ivana, rođene Božić, iz Australije,
tuženika Vilima Božića od Ermana iz Pule

Does it refer to the father of each mentioned person? What would be the reason for mentioning the prosecutor's father from Canada?
