PRESENT: : PESCE, P.J., WESTON PATTERSON and GOLIA, JJ
2006-466 RI C.

Paul Godnie, Appellant,

against

M. J. L. Home Improvement, Respondent.


Appeal, on the grounds of inadequacy, from a judgment of the Civil Court of the City of New York, Richmond County (Judith N. McMahon, J.), entered October 6,


2005. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, awarded plaintiff the principal sum of $1,861.54.

Judgment affirmed without costs.

In this small claims action, plaintiff sought to recover the cost to repair his vehicle which was allegedly damaged when defendant's van collided with it. After trial, the court below awarded plaintiff the principal sum of $1,861.54. Plaintiff now appeals from said judgment on the grounds of inadequacy. After reviewing the record, we are of the
opinion that the judgment rendered substantial justice between the parties in
accordance with the rules and principles of substantive law (CCA 1807).

Pesce, P.J., Weston Patterson and Golia, JJ., concur.
