“Ignorantia juris non excusat” is Latin for a legal principle that holds that one cannot escape liability for violating a law merely because one was unaware of it.
There are two simple steps to avoiding trouble: First, know the rules. Second, don’t break them. The potential penalties, both financial and commercial, can be extremely damaging for your business and, in some cases, for you personally.
