Procedural rules can be relaxed to prevent injustice that is disproportionate to a litigant's culpability. Courts may provide relief to litigants who did not follow procedural rules strictly but still have a valid claim, if upholding the rules would cause significant unfair harm. The interests of justice and fairness should sometimes outweigh strict adherence to procedural technicalities.
