Answer to Discussion Question v v v




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




was not educated in the United States? How about for a tourist who does not speak English? Everyone knows criminal
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




acts are prohibited, but what about subtler rules that differ across countries and so may be misunderstood by
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




foreigners?
v




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




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




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




knowledge regarding the state‘s usury laws is no excuse for the inclusion of an illegal interest rate in a sales
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




contract); and Plumlee v. Paddock (ignorance of thefact that the subject matter of the contract was illegal
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




was not excuse). The courts have provided a small exception to the rule when it comes to people in lack of
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




English language skills. Consider Flanery v. Kuska, (defendant did not speak English was advised by a friend
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




that an answer to a complaint was not required); Ramon v. Dept. of Transportation, (no English and an
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




inability to understand the law required for an excuse); Yurechko v. County of Allegheny, (Ignorance and with
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




the fact that the municipality suffered no hardship in late lawsuit filing was an excuse).

Answers to Case Questions v v v




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




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




of water and no supply of food. . . . That on the eighteenth day . . . they ........................ suggested that one
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




should be sacrificed to save the rest. . . . That next day . . . they . . . went to the boy ............................ put a knife
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




into his throat and killed him . . . the three men fed upon the body .....................of the boy for four days; [then]
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




the boat was picked up by a passing vessel, and [they] were rescued. . . . and committed for trial. . . .
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




if the men had not fed upon the body of the boy they would probably not have survived to be sopicked up
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




and rescued, but would ............................ have died of famine. The boy, being in a much weaker
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




condition, was likely to have died before them ................ The real question in this case [is] whether killing
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




under the conditions set forth ........... be or be not murder.” Do you consider the acts to be immoral?

[Regina v. Dudley and Stephens, 14 Queens Bench Division 273 (1884)]v v v v v v v v v v




Answer: This points out that the legal system has limits. Its acceptability is dictated by legal culture--which
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




determines whether law will be enforced, obeyed, avoided, or abused. It is limited by the informal rules of the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




society--its customs and values. One limit is the extent to which society will allow the formal rules to be
