Upon a review of the record in this small claims action, substantial justice has been done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law ( see UDCA 1807) in view of plaintiff's failure to comply with the notice of claim requirement of Education Law § 3813 (1), which is a condition precedent to bringing an action against a school district or a board of education ( Parochial Bus Systems v. Board of Educ. of City of N.Y., 60 NY2d 539, 547).
