the legal rules that regulate the provisions of the cheque as the most important commercial

Abstract

This study examines the legal rules that regulate the provisions of the cheque as the most important commercial paper that occupies a rank equivalent to money in fulfillment، which is the most، traded and used at the community level.

The act of giving a cheque free of charge، recovering all or part of the consideration after ordering its payment، ordering the drawee not to pay، or signing the cheque with a signature other than the signature adopted by the drawer، constitutes the offence of issuing a cheque without balance punishable by imprisonment or a fine، and such acts do not constitute an offence، unless they sign a cheque that has fulfilled the substantive and formal conditions required by law.  This is so as to confer on it the penal protection prescribed for the cheque as a means of fulfillment tool that takes the place of money to facilitate and settle financial and commercial transactions between individuals.
