http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_corporate

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.

fictional person


Explanation:
This distinction is made much more often in Italian, especially with the now obsolete IRPEG, literally a tax on fictional persons or corporations, whereas the term in English is found most often in legal text books.
