2004-1103 W C

Werner Lippe, Appellant,

against

Klaus Burre, Respondent.


Appeal by plaintiff on the ground of inadequacy from a small claims judgment of the Peekskill City Court, Westchester County (W. Maher, J.), entered on June 30, 2003, which awarded plaintiff the sum of $614.55.


Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs.

In this small claims action seeking to recover defendant's unpaid share of a car rental and hotel bill, we find that the trial court properly rendered its judgment providing the parties with substantial justice according to the rules and principles of substantive law (UCCA 1804, 1807; see Ross v Friedman, 269 AD2d 584 [2000]; Williams v Roper, [*2]
269 AD2d 125, 126 [2000]). The court properly took into account that defendant did not have use of the rented car for most of the week for which it was rented.
