§ 1835 Definition Of Person

• •The word 'person' in this law doesn't just mean a single human being.
• •It also includes groups like cities, counties, the state, and even the U.S. government if the law allows it.
• •This means these groups can be treated like a 'person' in legal situations covered by this chapter.

If a city government signs a contract to build a new park,

the city is treated like a 'person' in that contract. So, the city has to follow the rules of the contract, just like a regular person would.
