The record indicates that substantial justice was not done between the parties in accordance with the rules and principles of substantive law ( see UDCA 1807). Upon our review of the trial testimony and evidentiary submissions, we determine that defendant negligently repaired the plaintiff's automobile. Plaintiff proved his damages to the extent of $805.46, and is accordingly awarded judgment in this amount.
