Description
Per Curiam. This is an appeal by the plaintiff from an adverse judgment rendered after a non-jury trial in a law action. The insured under a property damage liability indemnity policy sought recovery for breach of contract by the insurer through alleged improper denial of coverage. A third party, for whom plaintiff performed services, had sued plaintiff claiming damages to its property through negligence and breach of warranty. In that suit the insurer denied coverage on the warranty claim, whereupon the insured employed counsel. The insurer supplied counsel to defend the other part of the case or claim on which it had not renounced coverage, and its attorneys actually defended the entire case, in which judgment was entered in favor of the defendant, the plaintiff in the instant case. Later, while the judgment remained subject to possible reversal on appeal, the insured settled the warranty claim and brought the present action against the insurer, for the amount paid in settlement and for attorney fees.
