Abstract
We are all familiar with the maxim de minimis non curat lex. It is not true at all; a good portion of law is concerned with nothing if not little things. Yes, there are often jurisdictional amounts that purport to deny jurisdiction to disputes too trivial for the courts to get moving. But sometimes these amounts are so minimal that it falsifies the maxim, a maxim which is not classical, apparently being a late medieval modification of de minimis non curat praeter.<.p>
