cakephp date validation

In cakePHP how would you achieve date validation when placing your validation statement inside the controller. could I put a second if statement after the first validation statement? i am not sure how you'd make it validate as systemdate is before or equal to the expiry date

if($this->Invoice->validates(array('fieldList'=>array('Relationship.partyone','Relationship.active'))))
{
  $this->Invoice->create(); 
 if ($this->Invoice->saveAll($this->request->data,array('validate'=>false))) 
 { 
  $this->Session->setFlash('The invoice has been saved');

Probably you need custom validation for date date comparison

In Model

var $validate = array(
        'date' => array(
        'rule' => array('datevalidation', 'systemDate' ),
        'message' => 'Current Date and System Date is mismatched'
            )
        ); 

 function datevalidation( $field=array(), $compare_field=null ) 
    {
        if ($field['date'] > $compare_field)
        return TRUE;
        else return FALSE;
    }

In Controller 

if($this->Invoice->validates(array('fieldList'=>array('Relationship.partyone','Relationship.active',Relationship.date))))
