Answer to Discussion Question b b b




Should the common law maxim “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” apply to an immigrant who speakslittle

English and was not educated in the United States? How about for a tourist who does not speak English?

Everyone knows criminal acts are prohibited, but what about subtler rules that differ across countries and so
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




may be misunderstood by foreigners?
b b b b b




Answer: It is generally true that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Citizens are deemed to have constructive
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




knowledge of the law. Yet, as well known as this rule is, it is surprising how often it is proffered as an
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




excuse. (A Westlaw search cases finds hundreds of examples). Examples include: Deluco v. Dezi (Conn.

Super) (lack of knowledge regarding the state‘s usury laws is no excuse for the inclusion of an illegal

interest rate in a sales contract); and Plumlee v. Paddock (ignorance of thefact that the subject matter of
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




the contract was illegal was not excuse). The courts have provided a small exception to the rule when it
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




comes to people in lack of English language skills. Consider Flanery v. Kuska, (defendant did not speak
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




English was advised by a friend that an answer to a complaint was not required); Ramon v. Dept. of

Transportation, (no English and an inability to understand the law required for an excuse); Yurechko v.
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




County of Allegheny, (Ignorance and with the fact that the municipality suffered no hardship in late
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




lawsuit filing was an excuse).
