Question

In a small town, Olivia, a resident, has been displaying a large billboard advertisement on her property without obtaining the necessary permits from the local government. One day, Olivia receives a notice from the local government to remove the billboard within 30 days due to the violation of zoning regulations. Unaware of the requirement to obtain permits prior to erecting the billboard, Olivia fails to comply with the notice and continues to display the advertisement.

Meanwhile, Marciano, a passerby, notices the billboard and decides to file a complaint against Olivia for the illegal advertisement. During the investigation, Olivia claims that she was completely unaware of the requirement to obtain permits for billboards and insists that ignorance of the law should exempt her from liability.

Based on the given scenario, considering the principles of Ignorance of the Law (Civil Code, Art. 3) and Ignorance of Fact:

1. What is the effect of Olivia's ignorance of the law?
2. Can Olivia's claim of ignorance of the law exempt her from liability? Explain.
3. If Olivia asserts that she was also unaware of the zoning regulations due to lack of access to information, how does Ignorance of Fact apply in this situation?
4. What would be the possible consequences for Olivia in relation to her failure to comply with the notice to remove the billboard?
