Spanish term or phrase: gravitación

Used in a sentencing for a suit between two parties issued in Argentina. Maybe it's talking about the "presence" of decree 861/96 in the plaintiff's affirmation?

"Que dada la afirmación del actor a fs 97 vta., no se discute en autos el pago efectuado por la demandada de $ 9000, sino el concepto en que él fue realizado y, en un marco mayor, la gravitación del decreto 861/96 sobre el avenimiento entre las partes que motivó aquellos pagos."

I'd need a little more context to be sure, but I think it might mean "relevance" here.

Explanation:
Given the context available here:

I think it goes further than the mere "impact" or "influence" (of the decree itself), and refers instead to the way the provisions of the decree have been applied in the specific case under discussion. Many different variables are used to determine the amount of the indemnity to be paid - were the right criteria/parameters used in this case?

For example:
la gravitación del decreto 861/96 sobre el avenimiento
-->
the manner in which decree 861/96 was applied in determining the terms of the agreement
