Legal Maxims
De minimis – A short form for the maxim de minimis non curat lex, "the law cares not for small things." A doctrine by which a court refuses to consider trifling matters. The law takes no account of trifles.
The de minimis rule as far as the price is concerned is when the dumping margin or the difference between the export price of the article and its normal value, is less than 2%. In other words the exporter is selling the goods in at almost the same price that it does in its country. As far as quantity is concerned, if the export accounts for less than 3% of the total imports of the like article into India, it is treated as too trivial for the law and is ignored. - Supreme Court of India in
