Abstract:
ABSTRACTIn most common-law and civil-law jurisdictions, mistakes of law do not excuse. That is, the fact that one was ignorant of the content or requirements of some law does not excuse violations of that law. Many have argued that this doctrine is mistaken. In particular, many have argued that if an individual's ignorance or false belief is blameless, if she held the false belief reasonably, then she ought to be able to use that ignorance as an excuse for violating the law. It is much harder to find defenders of the doctrine, despite its prevalence. Pragmatic considerations are occasionally offered on its behalf, but these are generally not impressive. In this paper, I consider a more direct kind of justification for the doctrine, one that attempts to identify something more immediately normatively objectionable about being ignorant of the law. In particular, I consider an argument that suggests that legal ignorance is more like moral ignorance than like nonmoral ignorance and maintains that even nonculpable moral ignorance does not excuse.

Abstract:
The age-long maxim, ignorance of the law is no defence, is a widely known presumption of law. This paper explains societal backdrops against which it has, from time to time, been contextualised. The aim is to prove that failure to present the law in a simplified and digestible form harms the rule of law. While the rule of law requires the capacity of the law to guide the layperson, the sheer number and complex nature of laws in modern States have made it virtually impossible for him or her to know the law. However, this paper does not seek to excuse ignorance of the law. Instead, it offers the street law programme as a panacea to reconcile this presumption with the rule of law. Further, with a particular reference to Kenya, it attempts to give a lesson for most African countries, where little or no attention has been paid to this programme.

Abstract:
Standard Roman Catholic theology emphases the truth of the moral law and typically regards an error of conscience as a matter of ignorance, for which a person may be more or less culpable. Those who in good faith do wrong are, at best, to be “excused” rather than blamed. This article goes beyond the categories of ignorance, mistake and excuse to offer a positive evaluation of the good, albeit erring, conscience. Newman's understanding of the twofold nature of conscience is compared with recent studies of the distinction between (moral) goodness and (ethical) rightness. A well-formed conscience is shown to be both upright and faithful, and open to continuing conversion.

Abstract:
During its 2012 session the Florida Legislature amended the text of the Florida Statutes which lists exemptions from the requirements of obtaining a Florida drivers’ license. Removed from the text of Florida Statute 322.04 was the line concerning nonresidents, both fellow Americans and international visitors, “who has in his or her immediate possession a valid noncommercial driver's license issued to the nonresident in his or her home state orcountry[emphasis added].” Inserted was a new line, “An International Driving Permit issued in his or her name in his or her country of residence and a valid license issued in that country.” International visitors were required to have in their possession not only a valid drivers’ license, but also an International Driving Permit (IDP) that translated into English the personal identification information of the driver. The change took effect January 1, 2013, but even before that date, Florida faced allegations that it was violating international law with this new requirement.

Abstract:
The article analyses adjudication processes: decision-making, incentives, factual states and legal conditions influencing the content of adjudication. A practical solution to problems by adjudication and a custom as part of this practice. A custom can be defined as a non-legal habit of conduct virtually observed within a given organizational structure (unit) of administration in similar situations and in specified time.The society, including the bodies that govern it, should be characterised by legality, i.e. act within law. In our conditions an administrative decision is of phenomenal significance and leaves a clear mark on our everyday life. It is virtually impossible to meet a person that has never been a subject of an administrative decision. Because of the importance of an administrative decision in our life, this article is addressed to those clerks in administrative bodies that in the course of administrative proceedings draw up the content of a ruling or decision that terminates the proceedings in a particular instance and feel anonymous. Underestimating familiarity with law by stating that one does not know law or that one is not a lawyer is frequently repeated by those employees in administrative bodies that are responsible for the content of those decisions and in this way they reveal their ignorance. Ignorantia legis non excusat (Latin for “ignorance of the law excuses no one”), therefore one cannot excuse oneself with unfamiliarity with law.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references<br>The focal area of research is to ascertain, if whether the delivery of non-conforming goods, may or may not exist as an excusable impediment under Article 79 of the CISG? To determine this I have taken a different approach, than that, of the more conventional approach of critiquing the prevailing arguments. Essentially by analyzing the commentary of the relevant Advisory Council Members as well as other major contributors to the debate, of which one argument finds its basis on legislative intent of the negotiating parties (Travaux preparatoires) and the other being ascertained on a purely textual interpretation of Article 79. In order to reach a more precise conclusion, the author of this dissertation has funneled these two arguments through the different interpretative methods of treaties to discern which of the two arguments should be regarded as the more appropriate choice, which should be adopted. The existing question therefore would be, should we find a definitive conclusion with the fact that negotiators to the Sales Convention have decided that the delivery of non-conforming goods should not be excused under Article 79? Or should we side with a purely textual approach? Based on the phrase 'failure to perform any of his obligation', the words "any" and "obligation" would consequently include the obligation of the seller to meet the level of conformity as expressed under the contract according to Article 35 of the CISG.

Abstract:
Telle qu’elle est conçue à l’origine par les jurisconsultes romains, la distinction entre fait etdroit a une fonction méthodologique. Elle oppose, pour l’essentiel, deux types d’enquêtes dont peutdépendre la résolution d’un conflit en justice. L’une a une portée générale, la quaestio iuris ; l’autrene regarde que la seule espèce en cause, la quaestio facti. Les juristes apprécient, suivant chaquesituation envisagée, celle des deux approches qui résoudra le litige de la manière la plusconvaincante.Leurs réflexions sont conditionnées, à cet égard, par les difficultés que suscite l’interpretatiofacti. Le risque de dissoudre l’expression du ius dans l’extraordinaire disparité des faits inciteparfois à privilégier des raisonnements de portée générale. La démarche se caractérise alors par soncaractère artificiel : le fait envisagé est, dans cette hypothèse, le fruit d’une construction. Par uneffort de définition, chaque circonstance est réduite en une notion générique, avant d’êtreconfrontée à la règle de droit. La qualification est alors proprement juridique : elle permet derésoudre le conflit dans le cadre d’une quaestio iuris.Cependant, certaines situations concrètes, par leur singularité, rendent de tels raisonnementsinadaptés. Aussi une autre approche est-elle parfois privilégiée. Elle suppose d’étendre les pouvoirsde l’interprète, en lui permettant d’apprécier chaque circonstance en cause dans le cadre d’unexamen d’espèce. La qualification procède alors d’une quaestio facti. Cette démarche caractérise laprotection prétorienne de la possession ; elle inspire surtout, en substance, la concession des actionsin factum<br>As originally conceived by Roman jurists, the distinction between fact and law has amethodological purpose. It confronts, essentially, two types of inquiries used to resolve a dispute incourt. One is general in scope, the quaestio iuris ; the other pertains only to a single case, thequaestio facti. According to each situation, jurists assess the approach that will resolve the disputein the most convincing way.Their thoughts are conditioned, in this respect, by the complexity of interpretatio facti. Therisk of dissolving the ius in the extraordinary disparity of facts may at times lead to a reasoning thatis general in scope. The approach is then artificial : the fact is considered, in this case, as a result ofa construction. A definition allows each circumstance to be reduced to a generic concept, beforebeing confronted to the legal rule. In this case, the evaluation is precisely legal : it resolves theconflict in the frame of a quaestio iuris.However, such appreciation may be inadequate for certain singular situations. Thereforeanother approach is sometimes favored. It involves extending the powers of the interpreter in orderto assess a circumstance through the examination of each concrete case. The evaluation is thencarried out within the quaestio facti framework. This characterizes the Praetorian protection ofpossession, and inspires above all, in essence, the concession of actiones in factum

Roth, Stéphanie. "Clandestinité et prescription de l'action publique." Phd thesis, Université de Strasbourg, 2013. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-01061930.

Full text
Abstract:
La mise en œuvre de la prescription de l'action publique n'est pas, en principe, subordonnée à la connaissance de l'infraction par les personnes pouvant déclencher les poursuites pénales. Le législateur retient en effet comme point de départ du délai de prescription le jour de la commission des faits et non celui de leur découverte. Cette règle connaît toutefois une exception lorsque l'infraction est dite clandestine. Parce que le ministère public et la victime n'ont pas pu avoir connaissance de l'existence de cette infraction, la prescription ne court pas tant que les faits ne sont pas apparus et n'ont pu être constatés dans des conditions permettant l'exercice de l'action publique. L'exception de clandestinité empêche donc le temps de produire son effet destructeur sur l'action publique. Sa mise en œuvre évite ainsi que certaines infractions restent impunies par le seul jeu de l'écoulement du délai. S'il ne fait aucun doute que la clandestinité d'une infraction constitue un obstacle à la prescription de l'action publique, la notion même de clandestinité reste à circonscrire. Elle recouvre en effet, en droit positif, de multiples réalités qui rendent impossible sa systématisation. Aux termes de la recherche, il apparaît que le critère déterminant de la clandestinité consiste dans l'ignorance légitime de l'existence de l'infraction par les personnes habilitées à mettre en mouvement l'action publique. En application de l'adage contra non valentem agere non currit praescriptio, cette ignorance caractérisée devrait autoriser le report du point de départ de la prescription de l'action publique de toute infraction au jour où les faits peuvent être constatés par le ministère public ou par la personne lésée.

Abstract:
The steam and power generating industries, like most, have to pay close attention to health and safety issues pertinent to its industry components. Each component of the boiler island has some special and unique issues that must be addressed. Brick, refractory, and insulation are no exception. They have very specific health and safety issues on just about every type of refractory and insulation material available on the market today. Not to mention the health and safety issues associated with the materials of products no longer manufactured but still found on existing construction. These industries must know about the health and safety issues associated with the products to be installed at their facilities. They must also familiarize themselves with those products that exist on their boilers. Ignorance is not an excuse and will save them no money when and if someone breaches an area that has a material that presents a health or safety issue. Proper material selection and proper preventive practices will prevent any potentially dangerous and health threatening issues. Paying close attention and following all health and safety requirements will protect the health and safety of those working in and around brick, refractory and insulation materials.

Abstract:
OBJETIVOS El aumento de la prevalencia del deterioro cognitivo y la demencia en Mayores podrían estar relacionados con el consumo de alcohol. Las quejas subjetivas de memoria se consideran predictoras del deterioro cognitivo, pero se asocian también a otros factores: los sociales y los hábitos de vida - Conocer los efectos del alcohol a nivel neurocognitivo en la tercera edad y las principales intervenciones aplicadas para tratar trastornos por consumo con un deterioro cognitivo asociado. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO Se realizó búsqueda y Revisión de la literatura existente sobre el deterioro cognitivo relacionado con el consumo de alcohol en personas mayores en las bases de datos especializadas en ciencias de la salud: PubMed, Cinahl, Scopus, Biblioteca Cochrane. Se utilizaron términos incluidos en los descriptores de Ciencias de la Salud, y relacionadas con la temática de estudio. RESULTADOS Y CONCLUSIONES Se alude a la poca relevancia que ha cobrado el efecto negativo del alcohol y los trastornos asociados a un mayor riesgo de deterioro cognitivo, mientras que la visión del alcohol como posible “protector” ha sido la excusa para mantenerse en la ignorancia. Sobre terapia de rehabilitación cognitiva en pacientes con trastorno por consumo de alcohol y trastorno neurocognitivo, no se obtienen conclusiones validas respecto a su eficacia. Es coincidente la poca investigación sobre este tema en el Adulto Mayor, subestimándose; dándole más importancia al problema entre la población joven. Con respecto al tratamiento, se precisa más investigación de la eficacia de las distintas intervenciones en el anciano, que permitan el desarrollo de tratamientos más adecuados y programas de rehabilitación teniendo en cuenta las características de edad y perfil del paciente y lograr un tratamiento personalizado.

Abstract:
Starting from the position that the basic purpose of the concept of rule of law is the protection of the individuals from the power of the State, the aim of this research is to examine if the principle of rule of law contains an element that could legitimize the restrictions of the scope of services in the field of reproductive medicine by the State. In particular, the object of this research is the question whether the right to life, as a substantive element of the rule of law encompassing negative as well as positive guarantees, can be used as an excuse for restrictive regulation of medical service of artificial gestation (ectogenesis). In a broader sense, it was examined if there was introduced any binding regional standards in Europe that would require from the Member State of Council of Europe to regulate service of artificial gestation as if it was an irrevocable process. If so, it would imply inability of progenitors – consumers, to withdraw from the process and suspend consumption of the service. Necessarily, the analysis also referred to the guarantees from the ambit of Article 8 of the European Convention as another substantive international legal element of the rule of law. The research was conducted using a descriptive method that describes the content of the right to life. Further, relevant guarantees and practices of the right to life protection were synthesized into possible claims - premises, which could amount potential basis for building a restrictive syllogism as a legal framework for the State intrusion in this area. These claims are the claim of the intentionality, the claim for equality, the claim of the conflict exclusion, the claim for viability. The conclusions of this research are that presumptive claims cannot provide excuses for the extension of the right to life to an ectoagent (an embryo that develops through ectogenesis) for the reasons explained below. With regard to the guarantees contained in Article 8 of the European Convention, above all autonomy, it has double effect. First, it disconnects ultimate demands of the progenitors from the Convention; second, it confers conditional right to life eligibility to ecto-agent. This research considered second stage of ectogenesis which commence with implantation. The intended originality of the analysis is to examine if the substantive elements of the rule of law from the scope of international human rights law, can be obstacles to the development of reproductive services.

Abstract:
The prerequisite for the study was the spread of views in the academic literature that the category of public welfare, without accounting for concretising factors, was a void abstraction, and that in Russia, public welfare was seen as the dominant principle over the individual. The main purpose of the study is to analyse the content of the term ‘the welfare of each and everyone’ in Russian legal theory. The author uses the methods of conceptual history and intellectual history to analyse the concept of ‘the welfare of each and everyone’ in the works of pre-revolutionary authors and the relationship between the concepts of ‘the welfare of each and everyone’ and ‘the common good’. The author determined that: ‘public welfare’ can be classified as fiction, purpose, method, interest and balance, depending on the context of use and semantic scope. The term ‘the welfare of each and every one’ became theoretically meaningful (as an objective, method, and interest), and was enshrined in law in Russian Empire in the XVIII -early XX centuries. The term was understood as achieving the common good, preserving the good of everyone and the reduction of public harm. Twentyfirst century Russian legal theory uses the related notion of ‘public welfare’, understood as a fiction, a goal, a method, an interest, a balance. The main findings of the study suggest that today the ‘public welfare’ is reduced to bringing benefits to anyone and everyone (D. I. Dedov), which is close to the historical understanding of ‘the welfare of each and every one’. The public welfare theory incorporates progressive elements such as the veil of ignorance, the win-win principle, and shapes institutions, resources, practices and formulates the issue of the emergence of a new generation of human rights.
