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