Governments definition of our PERSON

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please supply information as to the governments legal meaning of
the word PERSON as written in the statute books and how it relates
the a human being. I have researched and there are many who state
with some authority that a human being is NOT a person but HAS a
person that is made a legal entity (a corporate sole) on
registration of the birth of the child.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Keith

Dear James,

Thank you for your swift response.

I would like to make it clear that I am NOT seeking legal advice,
rather information that should be made public and is in the general
publics interest to be aware of.

I would draw your attention to the maxim: Ignorance of the law is
no excuse.
I would argue that for that maxim to be true then one would have to
be in possession of ALL the facts. If the definition used in common
language is different to the one used to enforce statute, then the
public are at a distinct disadvantage...and may even be being
purposely deceived. -- surely not!

As you can see, the Interpretation Act 1978 c.30 includes these
definitions for "PERSON":
“Person” includes a body of persons corporate or unincorporate.
[1889]
(5) The definition of “person”, so far as it includes bodies
corporate, applies to any provision of an Act whenever passed
relating to an offence punishable on indictment or on summary
conviction.

Both definitions use the word "includes" but do not define
"PERSON".

If you are adamant that the information that I require does not
fall under the FoI Act, would it be possible to request that
information as a personal request to be received by email?

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Keith

Dear James,

Thank you once again for your prompt reply.

I accept and am grateful your response and would just like to
clarify that by your suggestion you are inferring that the
definition that the government use (as opposed to one found in a
common dictionary) can be found in my local library?

Thank you for your time

Yours sincerely,

Keith
