German term or phrase: von Seite seines Bruders
Er bringt schließlich vor, daß er die Bürgschaftserklärung von Seite seines Bruders nachträglich verlegen werde.

I'm a little confused about the "von Seite seines Bruders". Is he going to transfer the Bürgschaftserklärung to his brother (which would seem to make sense as he is leaving the country)? Or does it mean something else?

Danke im Voraus!

Explanation:
A bit more emphasis than the possessive provides is needed here. Compare with this:
"..the Spanish nationality of the appellant was suspended during his minority in the absence of a declaration on the part of his father." http://www.lawphil.net/judjuris/juri1912/oct1912/gr_l-7011_1...
