FRANKLIN v. NEW HI TECH CORPORATION (2025)

Judgment (Jeanine R. Johnson, J.), entered September 11, 2023, affirmed, without costs.

A judgment rendered in the Small Claims Part of the Civil Court will be sustained on appeal unless it is shown that “substantial justice has not been done between the parties according to the rules and principles of substantive law” (CCA 1807; see Williams v Roper, 269 AD2d 125 [2000], lv dismissed 95 NY2d 898 [2000]). Applying that limited standard of review here, we find no basis to substitute our judgment for that of the trial court in dismissing the action. The evidence, fairly interpreted, supports the court's determination that plaintiff failed to establish that the repair services made by defendant to the vintage tape deck were defective. We have considered plaintiff's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE COURT.

Per Curium.

All concur.
