Inasmuch as the evidence, fairly considered, permitted the trial court, sitting as factfinder, to decide the matter as it did, its determination should not be disturbed (see Claridge Gardens, Inc. v Menotti, 160 AD2d 544, 544-545 [1990]; accord Executive Fashions, Inc. v Howard, 261 AD2d 159 [1999]).

Concur — Andrias, J.E, Friedman, Sullivan, Nardelli and Williams, JJ.
