Decided July 28, 2008.
Defendant appeals from a judgment of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court of the City of New York, New York County (Cynthia S. Kern, J.), entered March 22, 2007, after a nonjury trial, in favor of plaintiff and awarding him damages in the principal sum of $400.
Judgment (Cynthia S. Kern, J.), entered March 22, 2007, affirmed, without costs.
PRESENT: McKEON, P.J., SCHOENFELD, HEITLER, JJ.
The judgment in plaintiff's favor achieved substantial justice between the parties in accordance with the rules and principles of substantive law ( see CCA 1804, 1807; Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d 125, lv dismissed 95 NY2d 898). The trial evidence supports a finding that defendant made a valid, complete and present gift to plaintiff ( see Speelman v Pascal, 10 NY2d 313, 317-319; Rubenstein v Rosenthal, 140 AD2d 156, 157-158).
