16-363. ELIGIO PATINO, JR., plf-app, v. FOUNDATION OF DREAM AND 3E TOWING INC., def-res — Judgment (Alexander M. Tisch, J.), entered on or about October 22, 2015, affirmed, without costs.

The verdict issued upon the trial of this small claims action, limiting plaintiff’s recovery to the principal amount of $375, is supported by a fair interpretation of the evidence and achieved “substantial justice” consistent with substantive law principles (CCA 1804, 1807; see Williams v. Roper, 269 AD2d 125 [2000], lv dismissed 95 NY2d 898 [2000]). There is no record support for any additional recovery, particularly since plaintiff’s own evidence supported the finding that defendants agreed to pay only $500 for plaintiff’s 1994 automobile, of which $375 was due.
