Value is often used as an abbreviation for "valuable consideration," especially in the phrases "purchaser for value," "holder for value," etc. (Jowitt's, 2nd ed., 1977, p. 1849). 2, record 2, English, - for%20value

Value may consist of spiritual or aesthetic qualities, or in utility in use, or in the amount of money or other goods which could be obtained in exchange for the thing in question. In legal contexts, the last is the sense usually relevant, in such phrases as "holder for value" or "purchaser for value," in each of which "value" means "having paid a reasonable equivalent in money." [Oxford Companion to Law, 1980, p. 1270]. 2, record 2, English, - for%20value

«Une cause ou considération valable» [...] Presque chaque mot de ce bijou est un solécisme. [...] Voici une dégradation par rapport au texte de 1890 qui, lui, portait «de valeur». «Valable» reflète moins «valeur» que «validité» : cet adjectif traduit plutôt le concept d'«equity» de «good consideration», c'est-à-dire «cause valable», par opposition au concept de la « law », qui exige une contrepartie ayant une valeur au moins pour le débiteur de la prestation réciproque. 6, record 4, French, - cause%20%C3%A0%20titre%20on%C3%A9reux
