Lex non favet votis delicatorum

The law does not favor the wishes of the fastidious. "Trifling results are disregarded, for the courts proceed with great caution, and will not interfere with the use of property by the owner thereof, unless such use is unreasonable, the injury material and actual, not fanciful or sentimental." McCarty v Natural Carbonic Gas Co. 189 NY 40, 81 NE 549.
