Body corporate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A body corporate is the English legal term for a corporation. It is distinct from a natural person, although it has many of the same legal rights.
A body corporate can be either a corporation sole (consisting of a single person) or a corporation aggregate (consisting of two or more persons). The UK Crown is an example of a corporation sole, whereas J Sainsbury plc is an example of a corporation aggregate.
Section 1 of the Government of Wales Act 1998 states that the National Assembly for Wales is a body corporate.
