Answer to Discussion Question xc xc xc



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


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


not speak English? Everyone knows criminal acts are prohibited, but what about subtler rules that
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


differ across countries and so may be misunderstood by foreigners?
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



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


constructive knowledge of the law. Yet, as well known as this rule is, it is surprising how
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


often it is proffered as an excuse. (A Westlaw search cases finds hundreds of examples).
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


Examples include: Deluco xc v. xcDezi xc(Conn. Super) (lack of knowledge regarding the state‘s usury
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


laws is no excuse for the inclusion of an illegal interest rate in a sales contract); and Plumlee
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


xcv. xcPaddock xc(ignorance of the fact that the subject matter of the contract was illegal was not xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


excuse). The courts have provided a small exception to the rule when it comes to people in
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


lack of English language skills. Consider Flanery xcv. xcKuska, xc (defendant did not speak English
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


was advised by a friend that an answer to a complaint was not required); Ramon xcv. xcDept. xcof
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


xcTransportation, xc(no English and an inability to understand the law required for an excuse);
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


Yurechko xcv. xcCounty xcof xcAllegheny, xc(Ignorance and with the fact that the municipality suffered
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


no hardship in late lawsuit filing was an excuse).

1. Facts from an English judge’s decision in 1884: “The crew of an English yacht .. were cast away in
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


a storm on the high seas . . . and were compelled to put into an open boat. They had no
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


supply
xc

of water and no supply of food. . . . That on the eighteenth day . . . they
