/ˈmaɪnər kɔːz/ – Phrase
Definition: xch small cause.
A more thorough explanation: A “minor cause” refers to a contributing factor that is of lesser significance or importance in comparison to other primary causes in a legal context. It is a term often used in legal proceedings to describe a factor that has some influence on an outcome but is not the main reason for a particular event or situation.
Example: The minor cause of the accident was determined to be a faulty brake light on the vehicle.
