error in law

Read a random definition: anomalous-jurisdiction rule

A quick definition of error in law:

Error in law means making a mistake about what the law says. It is different from a mistake of fact, which is when you make a mistake about something that happened. If you make an error in law, it can affect a contract or agreement you made with someone else. Sometimes, if both parties make the same mistake, the contract can be changed or cancelled. But if only one person makes the mistake, it might not be enough to change the contract.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Error in law refers to a mistake made by a person regarding the legal consequences of a known fact or situation. It is also known as an error of law. This mistake can lead to a misunderstanding of the law and can have legal consequences.

Example: A person is caught driving under the influence of alcohol and claims that they did not know it was illegal to drive while intoxicated. This is an error in law because the person did not understand the legal consequences of their actions.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a mistake of law can lead to legal consequences. In this case, the person's lack of knowledge about the law does not excuse their behavior and they can still be held accountable for their actions. It is important to understand the laws that apply to our actions to avoid making errors in law.
