Closure of a current account. Its effect. The entries therein become mere items that lose their characteristics and merge, giving rise to a single debt. Transfer of the securities to the debt represented by the final balance. Both parties' approval of that balance. Its effect. It becomes final unless the approval is vitiated by mistake, fraud, deceit, or a clerical error.

قفل الحساب الجاري. أثره. تحول القيود فيه إلى مجرد مفردات تفقد خصائصها وتمتزج وينشأ عنها دين واحد. انتقال التأمينات إلى دين الرصيد النهائي. مصادقة الطرفين على ذلك الرصيد. أثرها. صيرورته نهائياً إلا أن يشوبها غلط أو غش أو تدليس أو خطأ مادي.
