Opinion
570823/09.
Decided March 11, 2010.
Plaintiff, as limited by his brief, appeals from that portion of a judgment of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Jeffrey K. Oing, J.), entered on or about August 12, 2009, after trial, which limited his recovery of damages to the principal sum of $650.
Judgment (Jeffrey K. Oing, J.), entered on or about August 12, 2009, affirmed, without costs.
PRESENT: McKEON, P.J., SHULMAN, HUNTER, JJ.
The amount of the damage award issued in plaintiff's favor upon the trial of this small claims action achieved "substantial justice" (CCA 1804, 1807) and was neither inadequate nor unreasonable. The court's determination to award plaintiff only a portion of the monies allegedly converted by defendant — a decision based in large measure upon the court's credibility determinations — is amply supported by the record evidence.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.
