De Minimis
A legal term meaning too small to be meaningful or taken into consideration; immaterial. As a matter of policy, the law does not encourage parties to bring legal actions for technical breaches of rules or agreements where the impact of the breach is negligible. The term de minimis is taken from a longer Latin phrase which translates into "the law does not concern itself with trifles." De minimis exceptions are commonly included in contracts to limit the application of covenants or other restrictions so that they do not apply in circumstances where the failure to observe the restriction has negligible impact.0 -

U414830's thread has a point from the judge that the defence was lengthy and some parts irrelevant. is it best to keep the defence short and straight to the point?0 -
Respected posters such as Bargepole advocate concise defences (you can check them out in the NEWBIE sticky post # 2), Coupon-mad goes for the jugular and is somewhat more lengthy, Johnersh, who is a solicitor, recommends summary type defences with evidence saved for the Witness Statement. I recommend you read a few of the 17 examples in the NEWBIE sticky post # 2 and make up your own mind - see if one of them can be modified to suit your circumstances, even if you have to add in a bit for clarity.U414830's thread has a point from the judge that the defence was lengthy and some parts irrelevant. is it best to keep the defence short and straight to the point?0 -
Whichever approach is adopted, I think there ought to be consensus on one thing: No defence should contain any irrelevant parts.and some parts irrelevant0
