Robert Morais, Respondent,

against

New Haven Place and David Subraj, Appellants.

Appeal from a judgment of the District Court of Nassau County, Second District (Howard S. Miller, J.), entered on August 11, 2004. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, awarded plaintiff the principal sum of $1,521.40.

Judgment unanimously affirmed without costs.

A review of the record in this small claims action indicates that substantial justice was done between the parties in accordance with the rules and principles of substantive [*2]
law (UDCA 1807). The circumstantial evidence at trial was sufficient to establish that the damage to plaintiff's automobile was caused by defendants' workers.
