Valide


Explanation:
La confusion se faut souvent!
"en Droit: Valide = qui n'est entaché d'aucune cause de nullité

Valable = Dont la valeur ne peut être contestée

Je préfère la définition du Droit dans ce cas précis.

valide


Explanation:
valide et valable semblent synonymes. Toutefois, dans le milieu juridique on entend plus souvent le terme valide. Antidote donne comme exemple "un permis valide".

Pour valable, Antidote nous donne "un motif valable".
