The answer

The notary and scribe are trustees; they are not liable for what is in their keeping unless they overstep their bounds or are negligent. A clerical error is not considered negligence unless intent or collusion is proven. Therefore, the notary is not liable for damages resulting from a clerical error, and the client must pay the full fee to him, as it became due upon completion of the work.
