GLOSSARY
De minimis non curat lex definition
What does De minimis non curat lex mean?
The law does not concern itself with trifles
The de minimis rule is seldom relevant in criminal law (so, for, example, the offence of theft is made out whether the property taken is worth one penny or £1 million) but it is not wholly irrelevant. For example, a shopkeeper who hangs a rack of newspapers on the outer wall of his shop abutting the highway may be acquitted of obstruction of the highway on the basis of de minimis non curat lex.
