The maxim “de minimis non curat lex” means

A. Law favour minor injuries
B. The law does not take account of trifles
C. β€”
D. None of These
Correct Answer: B. The law does not take account of trifles

The Latin maxim "de minimis non curat lex" precisely means "The law does not take account of trifles." This fundamental legal principle, also reflected in Section 95 of the Pakistan Penal Code, dictates that courts should not concern themselves with extremely minor or trivial matters that cause such slight harm that no person of ordinary sense and temper would complain. It prevents the legal system from being burdened by insignificant issues. Therefore, the option "Law favour minor injuries" is inaccurate, as the maxim implies disregard for trifles, not favoritism. The empty option and "None of These" are also incorrect.
