              "Ignorantia juris non excusat or ignorantia legis neminem excusat (Latin for "ignorance of the law excuses not" and "ignorance of law excuses no one" respectively) is a legal principle holding that a person who is unaware of a law may not escape liability for violating that law merely because one was unaware of its content."

                I agree, but it may bear somewhat upon the severity of the sentence. :fingers crossed:

                      Luckily you have just managed to avoid a SSJ in the K @shiney :snorky:as your photos were so lovely. Like you I adore Viburnum Mariesii has such a great habit and is on my favourite top ten shrub list.
