I am thinking this might mean ''completed" or "closed" but have found no real corroboration.
"Il s’agissait de demander à [x], une fois que tout était clos, plus précisément en fonction d’une valeur au 30.09.1993, de confirmer la valeur d’échange des deux banques.
Ceci n’a pas été fait parce que le processus législatif et constitutionnel était acquis."

Hello,
Could it be that the legislative and constitutional process was considered as (an) established fact (a given). Maybe that's why the aforementioned was not carried out. Just a thought.
Remember "était acquis" this not an action, but rather a state.
I hope this helps.
