Opinion
570434/05.
Decided February 14, 2006.
Plaintiff appeals from a judgment of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court, New York County (Debra Rose Samuels, J.), entered on or about December 22, 2004, in favor of defendant dismissing the action.
Judgment (Debra Rose Samuels, J.), entered on or about December 22, 2004, affirmed, without costs. The evidence, fairly interpreted, supports the trial court's determination that no valid contract existed between the parties. Plaintiff sought compensation for computer services performed prior to the execution of the purported contract, the validity of which was undermined by the fact that it was signed by an employee who had no authority to bind defendant and who was fired about the same time of the alleged execution. The dismissal of the action achieved substantial justice consistent with substantive law principles (CCA 1807).
PRESENT: SUAREZ, P.J., McCOOE, GANGEL-JACOB, JJ.
This constitutes the decision and order of the court.
