§ 5035 Definition Of Person

• •The word 'person' in laws can mean more than just one human.
• •It can also mean a group, like a company, a small business, or even a team.
• •If the law says 'person,' it usually includes all these unless it says otherwise.

If a big company like McDonald's breaks a rule, like not paying workers enough, the law can punish McDonald's as if it were a 'person.'

Even though McDonald's is not one single human, the law treats the whole company as a 'person' and can fine them or make them fix the problem.
