I am having problems with finding a translation for this term, which appears in the following sentence:
"Le difese conclusionali dell'attrice contestano tale convinzione del perito dell'ufficio in ordine alla pacificita della non novita della prima rivendicazione, ma i rilievi appaiano di stile..."
Can anyone help?

As I said, I am not sure it would fit the context. Sorry, just wanted to help, in any case I didn't really get the meaning without adding the proper accents.
Maggie Rosengarten (asker) Dec 2, 2007:
Hi Luisa
I completely agree with you that there is nothing in the text relating to peace or lack of violence and already thought your own suggestions fitted the context perfectly so I will be awarding you the points - thanks for your help.
Luisa Fiorini Dec 2, 2007:
The definition was taken from the italian monolingual dictionary De Mauro:

Luisa Fiorini Dec 2, 2007:
comunemente accettato, non soggetto a discussione o controversia: è p. che verrò anch’io, s’intende che la parità di diritti è cosa pacifica
Luisa Fiorini Dec 2, 2007:
Hi Maggie, take a look at this definition of "pacifico", since I am pretty sure that your sentence has nothing to do with pacifico in the sensa of peace and lack of violence, but in the sense "acceppted". 4 agg., fig., comunemente accettato, non soggetto

Italian term (edited): pacificita

peacefulness

I am missing some accents in this sentence... "in ordine alla pacificità della non novità". Otherwise I really can't make my mind. It would really surprise me if otherwise.
Literally it means: "characterized by peace; free from war, strife, commotion, violence, or disorder". I am not 100% sure in English you would use it in this context. I hope it can help anyway.
In Italian "pacificità" is rarely used, and it basically means to be "pacific".
