What is a 'person'?
All Acts, statutes, laws, rules and regulations from any level of Government apply ONLY to 'persons'. You have seen a lot of poo-pooing by the participants on this thread against any interpretation of the term 'person' other than it being a synonym for someone of the human species, and without regard to status of the man or woman involved.
Well, here is an interesting court cite from a British Columbia court case (Appeal Court, I believe):
"In common speech, person is generally used as meaning a human being, but
the technical legal meaning of a 'person' as evident from the reasoning of that judgment, is the subject of legal rights and duties. The usual form of a juristic 'person' at common law, was a corporation, ie: corporations aggregate or sole."
Vancouver Machinery Depot Ltd. v United Steel Workers of America 1948 (BC Court of Appeal)
Notes by another party: One can immediately see that a 'person' is a term of law, not common usage in a court, or in statutes of the legislative branch of Government. Dowdall J., KC, conceded that there are 4 recognized types of 'persons' - common use, theology, psychology and LAW. Each has its own distinct meaning and application.
Where an artificial 'person' is "subject to legal rights and duties", a 'natural person' is a man with the capacity for rights and duties, a fundamental distinction of great importance.
Capacity = the power to effect legal relations, or the power of choice, and that power of course being in YOU. Succinctly put, you have the power to decide to accept rights and duties of the ITA (or any other legislated statute) or not. Once you do accept, then you are bound by them, until you cancel them. Any claim against you that you cannot cancel when you find evidence that such a claim is fraudulent or not fully disclosed as to the authority or the right of the claimant, then becomes a declaration of the imposition of slave status upon you, or, a denial of contractual rights. It is also a fundamental breach of the Coronation Oath of the Queen.
My note: In my
www.detaxcanada.org detax program, I have refrained from the practice of referring to oneself as a 'natural person', because it still causes the imposition of the relationship to the corporate structure of government, as either a subject member of the corporation or an owned slave of that corporate structure, and thus, leaving you without rights, including the right of 'due process of law.'
