§ 513 Definition Of Person

Key Takeaways

  • •This law defines who counts as a 'person' under the law.
  • •A 'person' can be one human, a group of people, or even a company or government.
  • •It includes businesses, teams, and any official group.

Example

If a big company like McDonald's does something wrong, like not paying workers fairly.

The law says McDonald's counts as a 'person,' so they can be held responsible, just like a single human would.
