§ 22104 Definition Of Person

Key Takeaways

  • •It can also mean a group of people working together, like a company or a business.
  • •This includes small shops, big companies, and even groups like clubs or teams.

Example

If a big toy company sells a broken toy that hurts a kid.

The law doesn't just blame one worker. The whole company can be responsible because the law sees the company as a 'person'.
