1,171 charsLiability already having been established as a result of defendant’s conduct, this negative inference gains significance in the analysis of damages. “[T]he rule of certainty as applied to the recovery of damages does not require mathematical accuracy or absolute certainty or exactness, but only that the loss or damage be capable of ascertainment with reasonable certainty” (Reichman v Warehouse One, 173 AD2d 250, 252 [1st Dept 1991]). Normally, the proper measure of damages is the actual value of the items, to be determined by taking into account, in addition to the original cost of the articles, other factors including the extent to which the items have deteriorated or depreciated through use and damage and evidence of present reasonable value (Finnerty v Freeman, 176 Misc 2d 220, 222 [App Term, 2d Dept 1998], citing 36 NY Jur 2d, Damages §§ 83, 84; Elliott v United States, 250 F Supp 322, 324 [WD NY 1965] [$200 per year on a $2,600 harp is a reasonable depreciation allowance]; Lubin v Finkelstein, 82 NYS2d 329, 336 [Sup Ct, NY County 1948] [depreciation deduction “less than 7.90% of the value of the furniture and fixtures” is not “unreasonably high”]).
