HE

Definition: HE is a pronoun that traditionally refers to a male person, but can also be used to refer to both sexes or corporations.

A more thorough explanation:

Example 1: The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom gave a speech in the H.C. yesterday.

This example illustrates that H.C. is used to refer to the House of Commons in the United Kingdom.

Example 2: The lawyer filed a petition for H.C. on behalf of her client who was being held in custody without trial.

This example illustrates that H.C. is used to refer to Habeas Corpus, which is a legal term related to a person's right to be brought before a court or judge.

Definition: HDC stands for Holder in Due Course, which is a legal term that refers to a person who has received a negotiable instrument, such as a check or promissory note, in good faith and for value, and without notice of any defects or problems with the instrument.

Example: The bank was considered an HDC because it received the check in good faith and without any knowledge of any problems with the check.

Definition: He is a pronoun of the masculine gender that is traditionally used to refer to a male person. In statutes, it is often construed to include both sexes, as well as corporations. It may also be read as they. However, due to the trend toward nonsexist language, careful drafters avoid using the generic pronouns he, him, and his unless the reference is only to a male person.

Example: He who violates the law shall be punished.

This example illustrates the traditional use of he as a pronoun to refer to a male person. However, this usage is becoming less common due to the trend toward nonsexist language.
