13-367. SAMUEL AMANKWA, plfres, v. EASTCHESTER HEIGHTS, LP., def-app — Judgment (Eddie McShan, J.), entered on or about January 29, 2013, modified by vacating the damage award and directing a new trial on the issue of damages only; as modified, judgment affirmed, without costs.

The trial court achieved “substantial justice” consistent with substantive law principles (see CCA 1804) in resolving the liability aspect of this small claims action in plaintiff’s favor, since the evidence permits a finding that plaintiff’s household belongings were damaged as a result of the most recent of the “chronic roof leaks” that defendant-landlord’s witness acknowledged had previously plagued the residential building premises.
