Just saw following in a CSS file, what is that & mean?

& > p {
            margin-left: -15px;
            margin-right: -15px;
}

it is most likely from a less or sass file, do you have more context? – cocoa Jan 25 '16 at 20:30

That probably wasn't a CSS file. In LESS and SASS that means the parent selector – Joseph Marikle Jan 25 '16 at 20:30
