§ 113 "Person" defined.

This law explains what the word "person" means when it shows up in other parts of this legal code. It's not just talking about individual people. The term also covers businesses and other types of organized groups.

Specifically, "person" can mean a single individual, a corporation, or a partnership. It also includes things like business trusts, unincorporated organizations, associations, or joint stock companies. So if a rule or law refers to a "person," you need to check whether it might actually apply to a company or organization too, not just a human being.

This matters because many legal rights and duties depend on who counts as a "person" under the law. If you're dealing with a case involving a business or organization, this definition tells you that the law likely treats that business the same way it would treat an individual person, at least for the purposes of this set of rules.
