A perfect example of the common law concept of "legal fiction":

... a legal device assuming something is true that is clearly false ...

Another example is the asinine "legal fiction" in the US that a
corporation is a "person".

The legal concept of "legal fiction" is why corporations can commit
criminal acts and be fined instead of a real "person" in the corporation
going to jail for the criminal act, as Pfizer's $2.3 Billion fine for
fraud and other crimes.

Another blurring of the distinction by the legal establishment between
what is legal, and the concepts of what is moral, ethical, right, fair,
etc. ... a device that will eventually bring capitalism to its knees.
