PRESENT: RUDOLPH, P.J., ANGIOLILLO and TANENBAUM, JJ.
Plaintiff instituted this small claims action for damage caused by defendants to plaintiff's vehicle as a result of a shopping cart rolling into it. After hearing the testimony and reviewing the evidence, the court found defendants responsible for the damage to the headlight. The court concluded that the additional damage set forth in the estimates of repair were either preexisting or the result of wear and tear. Since the court's findings were supported by credible evidence adduced upon the trial, including a paid bill which itemized the cost of replacement of the headlight, we find that substantial justice was done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law (UJCA 1807).
