§ 30003 Definition Of Person

Key Takeaways

  • •The word 'person' doesn't just mean one human—it can also mean groups, companies, or other organizations.
  • •If a law uses 'person,' it applies to businesses and teams, not just individuals.
  • •This rule helps make sure laws cover everyone, whether you're alone or part of a bigger group.

Example

A small bakery doesn't pay its workers on time.

Even though the bakery is a business, the law treats it like a 'person.' So, the bakery can get in trouble just like a single person would if they didn’t pay someone.
