immaterial
The word immaterial refers to having no essential bearing on the issue being brought in a contract or to the claim for relief. Something immaterial would mean something that is not relevant to the issue presented. Immaterial is commonly heard as an objection when introducing evidence in a trial as the opposing side would claim the matter had nothing substantial or relevance to the issue in a case. In other words, an immaterial statement would mean a statement that is uttered to prove some fact that is not properly at issue, or unrelated. The term immaterial could be used to describe a lack of logical connection with consequential facts.
