noncontentious
Causing no dispute
Noncontentious describes something unlikely to provoke disagreement or controversy.
A noncontentious issue is one where parties readily agree or that lacks the stakes to generate conflict: The budget amendment passed quickly—it was entirely noncontentious.
In legal contexts, noncontentious matters proceed without opposition from adverse parties.
