§ 18672 Definition Of Person

This law says that the word 'person' doesn't just mean one human—it also includes groups like companies, partnerships, and even people working for those groups.

Key Takeaways

  • •The word 'person' in laws can mean a single human or a whole business.
  • •If a company breaks a rule, the company itself can be punished, not just the workers or bosses.
  • •This applies to all kinds of businesses, like stores, restaurants, or even small teams working together.

Example

If a big company like McDonald's does something wrong, like not paying workers fairly, this law means the company itself can be held responsible, not just the boss or manager.

The law treats the whole company as a 'person' who can be in trouble, not just the people inside it.
