Abstract

The maxim de minimis non curat lex is commonly used in English law as well as by the lawyers who represent other common law systems. Nowadays, the circumstances of exerting the principle rouse doubts. Despite its rational grounds, it is hard to indicate clearly when it should be used. In the article, the origins, as well as the ways of its interpretation, were presented according to three contexts: legal literature, judicature and parliamentary discourse until the 19th century.

Keywords:

English law, rule of law, de minimis.
