Detailed explanation-1: -Falkner [1846] 2 CB 706: “There is no presumption in this country that every person knows the law: it would be contrary to common sense and reason if it were so."

Detailed explanation-2: -(a) Presumption defined. A presumption is an assumption of fact that the law requires to be made from another fact or group of facts found or otherwise established in the action or proceeding.

Detailed explanation-3: -n. a rule of law which permits a court to assume a fact is true until such time as there is a preponderance (greater weight) of evidence which disproves or outweighs (rebuts) the presumption.

Detailed explanation-4: -Courts use presumptions[1] to form conclusions about the existence of particular facts. It is not necessary for the party who is considered to be in the right to rely on presumptive facts to bear the burden of evidence.

Detailed explanation-5: -Presumed knowledge of the law is the principle in jurisprudence that one is bound by a law even if one does not know of it. It has also been defined as the “prohibition of ignorance of the law". The concept comes from Roman law, and is expressed in the brocard ignorantia legis non excusat.
