Chapter 51: Definitions
§ 51-01 Scope of this Chapter.
   (a)   Other than words that are capitalized in the normal course (such as "Mayor of the City of New York" or the first word in a sentence) any word (or group of words) in these Rules that has its first letter capitalized will be a "defined term."
   (b)   Most defined terms appear in this Chapter. For ease of reference, certain defined terms may also appear in the "Definitions Applicable to this Chapter" section of Chapters in which the terms are most relevant. Certain general terms (Driver, License, Owner, for example) will have a more specific meaning in individual Chapters. In some cases, a defined term in a Chapter can have a meaning different from that in this Chapter (for example, a Broker in 35 RCNY Chapter 65 is different). Those different definitions will appear in the relevant Chapters.
(Amended City Record 9/22/2016, eff. 10/22/2016)
