Ordered the firm to pay the professional the sum of 2,205.60 euros for the material damage suffered
Declared that interest at the legal rate will be charged on the above amount from the date of delivery of the judgment
Ordered the firm to pay the professional the sum of 3,500 euros for the moral prejudice suffered
Ordered the firm to pay 1,500 euros under Article 700 of the Code of Civil Procedure and to pay all costs
Reminded that the provisional execution is automatic

This decision is final.
