§ 4035 Definition Of Person

Key Takeaways

  • •The word 'person' in the law doesn't just mean one human being.
  • •It can also mean groups like companies, government offices, or even teams working together.
  • •This rule helps make sure the law applies to big groups, not just single people.

Example

A big toy company sells broken toys that hurt kids.

The law can punish the whole company, not just the boss or one worker, because the company counts as a 'person' too.
