Dodd-Baidoos v Milio Mgt., LLC
Annotate this CaseDecided on November 21, 2007
SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPELLATE TERM: 9th and 10th JUDICIAL DISTRICTS
PRESENT: : RUDOLPH, P.J., EMERSON and LaCAVA, JJ
2006-2047 W C.
Doreen Dodd-Baidoos, Appellant,
against
Milio Management, LLC, Respondent.
Appeal from a judgment of the City Court of Yonkers, Westchester County (Arthur J. Doran,
III, J.), entered June 23, 2006. The judgment, after a nonjury trial, dismissed the action.
Judgment reversed without costs and matter remanded to the court below for a new trial.
In this small claims action to recover monies deposited with the defendant in relation to an
apartment that plaintiff sought to lease, the lower court failed to set forth the factual and legal
basis for its finding in favor of defendant and dismissal of plaintiff's cause of action. In order for
there to be proper appellate review, such a recitation is
necessary, particularly with regard to the nature of the deposit and the understanding
between the parties. Accordingly, under the circumstances presented, it cannot be said that
substantial justice has been done between the parties according to the rules and principles of
substantive law and the matter must be remanded to the court below for a new trial (UCCA
1807).
Rudolph, P.J., Emerson and LaCava, JJ., concur.
