§ 1201 Definition Of Person

• •The word 'person' in this law doesn't just mean one human. It can also mean a group of people or a business.
• •This includes companies, partnerships, and even small businesses like a local shop.
• •If this law talks about what a 'person' can or can't do, it applies to both regular people and businesses.

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

The law treats the bakery as a 'person,' so the bakery can get in trouble just like a single person would if they didn't pay someone.
