Running Account Legal Judgments

In commercial cases, the concept of a "running account" is crucial for determining the limitation period. Here are some key points:
- A running account is a continuous account with multiple transactions over time.
- The limitation period typically starts from the date of the last entry in the account.
- Each entry renews the limitation period.
For specific cases, do you have any particular court decisions or scenarios in mind?

In commercial cases, a non-running account is one where transactions are not continuous or periodic. Here are some key points:
- A non-running account is typically closed after a single transaction or a fixed set of transactions.
- The limitation period starts from the date of the transaction or delivery.
- Each transaction is treated independently.
