§ 78 Immaterial errors to be disregarded.

Judges are told to ignore small mistakes that don't really hurt anyone's case. If there's a minor error in the paperwork or in how the case was handled, but it doesn't harm the other side's rights, the court can't use that mistake as a reason to overturn a decision.

This rule exists so cases aren't thrown out or reversed over tiny technical slip-ups. For example, a typo in a legal document or a small procedural misstep usually won't matter if it didn't change the outcome or hurt anyone's ability to defend themselves. The focus is on whether the mistake actually caused real harm, not on whether the process was done perfectly.

In short, courts care about fairness and real outcomes more than perfect paperwork. If an error didn't change the result or damage someone's rights, the case stands as decided.
