I'm not sure your premise is correct. But if it is, then there might
be such an "inyan", but it would have to be explicitly agreed between
the parties.   Even if there were no such "inyan", if the parties to
a transaction agree to use ChM rather than Minhag Hatagarim for some
specific transaction, then that will be binding.  But here there was
no such agreement.
