Anderson v. Mastrangelo
| Decision Date | 23 May 2005 |
| Docket Number | 2003-11118. |
| Citation | 18 A.D.3d 677,796 N.Y.S.2d 118,2005 NY Slip Op 04163 |
| Parties | ROBERT ANDERSON et al., Respondents, v. MICHAEL F. MASTRANGELO, Appellant. |
| Court | New York Supreme Court — Appellate Division |
Ordered that the order is affirmed, with costs.
The determination of the trial court after a nonjury trial should not be disturbed on appeal unless it is clear that the court's conclusions could not have been reached upon a fair interpretation of the evidence, especially where the findings of fact rest in large measure on considerations relating to the credibility of witnesses (see Thoreson v Penthouse Intl., 80 NY2d 490, 495 [1992]; Loughran v Town of Eastchester, 299 AD2d 329 [2002]; Matter of Hartford Ins. Co. v Khan, 279 AD2d 524, 525 [2001]). The trial court's rejection of the defendant's account of the plaintiffs' representations about the property prior to closing is supported by a fair interpretation of the evidence. Therefore, we decline to disturb it.
The defendant's remaining contention is without merit.
