IMMATERIAL

immaterial,adj. (Of evidence) tending to prove some fact that is not properly at issue; lacking any logical connection with the consequential facts. Cf. IRRELEVANT. [Cases: Evidence 143. C.J.S. Evidence §§ 197, 201–204.] — immateriality,n.

“The rules of substantive law and of pleading are what determine immateriality; and if the probandum is immaterial, of course no evidence to prove it is wanted.” John H. Wigmore, A Students’ Textbook of the Law of Evidence 37 (1935).
