Can a person ignore a Court Order claiming that he was not aware of it?

If a Court order is passed against a litigant restraining him from the use of a certain name but the litigant has stopped coming to Court after arguments were scheduled, can he claim ignorance of the Court Order in not abiding by the Order? Is it the duty of the winning party to apprise the losing party that the losing party has lost and that the Court has passed a restraining Order or can the winning party file a Contempt of Court lawsuit directly if the losing party continues to use the name?

NO!He has to continue attending court and use change of name as decided by court. IF due to sickness etc he could'nt attend court winning parte will've to apprise him of change of his name.If he doesn't attend court it is the duty of winning party to apprise him that court has passed a restraining order and also book  him for contempt of court.

The rule "ignorance of the law is no excuse" really means that people can't defend their actions by claiming they didn't know the law. So they must follow court orders.

Thank you all. However, this is NOT ignorance of law but ignorance of a fact that we are dealing with. The fact been the Court Order and its content. It appears that contempt of court requires intentional violation of an Order so this is a gray area or is it?  "I did not know that the Court had issued such as Order" is a defense but is it a viable defense?
