jurisprudence that is calm, peaceful and without opposition


Explanation:
Needs more context.

For example, possession that is "calm, peaceful and without interruption" is required for usucaption under civil law (known as adverse possession in common law).

It could refer to a principle of jurisprudence (a law) regarding calm, peaceful and unopposed possession of property. Calm, peaceful and unopposed are the elements for applying the principle. More context is needed in order to determine this.
