Opinion
570319/03.
Decided October 1, 2003.
Plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court, New York County, entered on or about July 31, 2002 after trial (Donna G. Recant, J.) in favor of defendant dismissing the action.
Judgment entered on or about July 31, 2002 (Donna G. Recant, J.) affirmed, without costs.
PRESENT: WILLIAM J. DAVIS, J.P., PHYLLIS GANGEL-JACOB, MARTIN SCHOENFELD, Justices.
A judgment rendered in the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court will be sustained on appeal unless it is shown that "substantial justice has not been done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law." (CCA 1807; see, Williams v. Roper, 269 AD2d 125, lv dismissed 95 NY2d 898). Applying that limited review standard here, and since the record permits a finding that plaintiff "overbilled" defendant for the litigation-related services rendered, we find no basis to substitute our judgment for that of the trial court in dismissing the action after a thorough hearing.
This constitutes the decision and order of the court.
