«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. 2, record 1, French, - contrepartie%20valable%20et%20suffisante
