§ 17360 Person Definition

Key Takeaways

  • •The word 'person' in this law doesn't just mean one human. It can also mean a group of people, a company, or a business.
  • •If a rule in this chapter says 'a person must do something,' it applies to both regular people and big groups or companies.
  • •This helps make sure everyone follows the rules, no matter if they're alone or part of a bigger group.

Example

A toy company sells unsafe toys that hurt kids.

Even though a 'company' isn't a single person, the law treats the company like a 'person' and can punish them for breaking the rules.
