§ 4170 Legal Entity Definitions

• •This law defines who or what counts as a 'person' in legal terms.
• •A 'person' can be a real human, a company, the government, or any group or organization.
• •It includes things like businesses, trusts, and even government agencies.

If a big company like Apple does something wrong, like not paying workers fairly, this law says Apple counts as a 'person' and can be held responsible, just like a real person would.

The law treats companies and groups the same as humans when it comes to following rules or being punished for breaking them.
