Law Offices of Anthony A. Capetola, Respondent, v Kristin A. Pelgrim, Appellant.
[936 NYS2d 553]

Opinion:
Upon review of a determination rendered after a nonjury trial, this Court's authority "is as broad as that of the trial court," and this Court may "render the judgment it finds war ranted by the facts, taking into account in a close case the fact that the trial judge had the advantage of seeing the witnesses" (Northern Westchester Professional Park Assoc. v Town of Bedford, 60 NY2d 492, 499 [1983] [internal quotation marks omitted]). Applying these principles, we discern no basis to disturb the Supreme Court's determination.
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Dillon, J.R, Balkin, Leventhal and Chambers, JJ., concur.
