Validity

This term is used to signify legal sufficiency, in contradistinction to mere regularity. "An official sale, an order, judgment or decree may be regular,—the whole practice in reference to its entry may be correct,—but still invalid, for reasons going behind the regularity of its forme," Sharpleigh v. Surdam, 1 Flip. 487, Fed. Cas. No, l2,7lL
