In a breach of contract action, district court judgment is reversed where: 1) the court erred in its grant of summary judgment for defendant on the estoppel claim as it failed to take costs and attorney’s fees into account when considering whether a judgment against defendant would result in a double recovery; and 2) the court should not vacated the judgment in plaintiff’s favor on the Illinois Insurance Code sec. 155 claim.
