Lex Loci Delicti is Latin for "the law of the place where the tort was committed". It is most commonly used in deciding choice of law in torts cases. It also has application in international infringement cases, as well as many other applications. Essentially, it means that the applicable law should be the law where the tort/infringement was committed.

"Lex loci delicti" refers to the principle in legal issues that the law of the place where a wrongful act occurs determines the legal consequences of that act. This means that the laws governing a certain situation are those of the jurisdiction where the offense took place.

What is the meaning of dura lex sed lex?
A origem da expresão Dura lex, sed lex está no Império Romano quando um importante pensador, ou general foi condenado à morte e o Imperador da época assim se expressou para definir o contraste entre a perda de um grande filósofo e a lei criada por ele, Imperador. Entretanto, não me lembro do nome do Imperador nem do Filósofo. É atrás disto que estou visitando as páginas com ente nome. Tenho uma vaga lembrança de meus estudos de História Antiga que o filósofo possa ter sido Caio Gracco, mas nada garanto. Se alguém souber gostaria de ser informado. Mário Lúcio

Long ago this was expressed in an English court as "de minimis non curat lex", or "the law does not care about trifles". An attorney who wishes to object to the judge that something is trivial just says "de minimis".
