de minimis - [Latin] - According to the Legal Dictionary, means inconsequential, insignificant, meager, moderate, modest, negligible,
of minor imporrance, of no account, paltry, petty, obscure, scanty, slight, trifling, trivial, unworthy of serious consideration.
An abbreviated form of the Latin Maxim de minimis non curat lex, "the law cares not for small things." A legal doctrine by which a court refuses to consider trifling matters. In a lawsuit, a court applies the de minimis doctrine to avoid the resolution of trivial matters that are not worthy of judicial scrutiny. Its application sometimes results in the dismissal of an action, particularly when the only redress sought is for a nominal sum, such as one dollar. Appellate courts also use the de minimis doctrine when appropriate. |
