litigable
Able to sue
Litigable describes something that can be taken to court or made the subject of a lawsuit.
A matter is litigable if it involves a genuine legal dispute that courts have authority to resolve: Whether the contract was breached is a litigable question.
The opposite—matters of personal preference, political disputes, or issues already settled—are not litigable.
