de minimis non curat lex

From Latin, meaning "the law does not care about the smallest things," a legal principle asserting that trivial matters are not worthy of judicial scrutiny. They want to drag our entire company to court because of a scratch on their car that they allege was caused by one of our machines. I implore the court to acknowledge that this clearly falls under the doctrine of de minimis non curat lex. A: "I'm going to take them to court for consistently filling my bags of pretzels halfway with air." B: "You know, de minimis non curat lex comes to mind." Can't you two come to some agreement about the hedges on your own? If you sought to involve the legal system, my guess is that your squabble would fall under the doctrine of de minimis non curat lex.
