Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., 123 Misc.2d 932, 475 N.Y.S.2d 219 (1984); Brown v. United States Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 46 A.D.2d 97, 361 N.Y.S.2d 232 (3d Dept.1974). IFF was wholly successful on its claim that CU breached its duty to defend, and thus there is no basis on which to reduce its fees. Cf. American Home Assurance Co. v. Diamond Tours & Travel, Inc., 103 Misc.2d 733, 426 N.Y.S.2d 897 (1979) (<HOLDING>). 5 . The attached addendum shows the breakdown
