2006 N.Y. Slip Op. 51893 (N.Y. App. Term 2006)

Opinion

570226/06.

Decided October 5, 2006.

Defendant Rapid Park Industries, Inc. appeals from a judgment of the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court, New York County (Eileen Koretz, J.), entered August 9, 2004, after trial, in favor of plaintiff and awarding him damages in the principal amount of $3,600.

Judgment (Eileen Koretz, J.), entered August 9, 2004, affirmed, without costs.

PRESENT: McKEON, P.J., McCOOE, DAVIS, JJ

PER CURIAM

The court's determination that the defendant parking garage owner was negligent is supported by the record evidence, which includes defendant's own written acknowledgment that "it was the parking garage security that failed." Thus, the judgment in plaintiff's favor achieved "substantial justice" consistent with substantive law principles (CCA 1804, 1807).

This constitutes the decision and order of the court.

I concur.
