Answer to Discussion Question

Should |the |common |law |maxim |“Ignorance |of |the |law |is |no |excuse” |apply |to |an |immigrant |who |speaks|little
|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 |may |be |misunderstood |by |foreigners?
Answer: |It |is |generally |true |that |ignorance |of |the | law |is |no |excuse. |Citizens |are |deemed |to |have
|constructive |knowledge |of |the |law. |Yet, |as |well |known | as |this |rule |is, |it |is |surprising |how |often |it |is
|proffered |as |an |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 |the|fact
|that |the |subject |matter |of |the |contract |was |illegal |was |not |excuse). |The |courts |have |provided |a |small
|exception |to |the |rule |when |it |comes |to |people |in |lack |of |English |language |skills. |Consider |Flanery |v.
|Kuska, |(defendant |did |not |speak |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. |County |of |Allegheny, |(Ignorance |and | with |the |fact |that | the
|municipality |suffered |no |hardship |in |late |lawsuit |filing |was |an |excuse).
