Answer: It is generally true that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Citizens
i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k
are deemed to have constructive knowledge ofy the law. Yet, as
i k i k well i k ik i k i k i k ik i k i k i k i k
known
i k as this rule is, it is i k i k i k i k i k i k
surprising how often it is proffered as an excuse. (A Westlaw search i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k
cases finds hundreds of examples). Examples include: Delucoy v. Deziy (Conn. Super)
i k i k i k ik i k i k i k i k ik i k ik i k
(lack ofy knowledge regarding the state‘s usury laws is no excuse for the
i k i k ik i k ik i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k
inclusion of an illegal interest rate in a sales contract); and Plumleey v.
i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k ik i k i k ik
Paddock (ignorance of thefact that the subject matter ofy the contract was illegal
i k i k i k i k ik i k i k i k i k i k ik ik i k i k
was
i not excuse). The courts
k have provided a small exception
i k to the i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k
rule when it comes to people in lack
ik i ofy English language skills.
k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k ik i k i k
Consider
i k Flaneryy v. i k ik
Kuska, (defendant did not speak English was advised by a friend that
i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k
an
i kanswer to a complaint was not required); Ramony v. Dept. ofy
i k i k i k ik i k i k i k i k ik i k i k
Transportation, (no English and an inability to understand the law required for
ik i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k
an excuse); Yurechko v. Countyy ofy Allegheny, (Ignorance and
i k i k with the fact i k i k i k ik ik ik i k i k i k i k
that
i the municipality suffered no
k hardship in late lawsuit filing was an
i k i k i k i k i k i k i k i k ik i k i k
excuse).
