Morrissey v. GNP Petroleum

Full title: DANA MORRISSEY, Respondent, v. GNP PETROLEUM and DENNIS JONES Appellants

Court: Appellate Term of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department

Date published: Dec 22, 2003

2003 N.Y. Slip Op. 51686 (N.Y. App. Term 2003)

Opinion

2003-315 OR C.

Decided December 22, 2003.

Appeal by defendants from a small claims judgment of the Justice Court, Town of Wallkill, Orange County (R. Freehill, J.), entered on January 8, 2003, awarding plaintiff the sum of $556.

Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs.

PRESENT: DOYLE, P.J., LIFSON and RUDOLPH, JJ.

Upon a review of the record in this small claims action to recover damages for allegedly faulty repairs to plaintiff's automobile, the judgment in favor of plaintiff should not be disturbed since the lower court's determination was not "so shocking as to not be substantial justice" ( Scaringe v. Holstein, 103 AD2d 880).
