““Even though State Farm breached its contract, it is not wholly without some rights. On the breach of the contract it became Burke’s duty to take reason-abe steps to mitigate the damages, (citations omitted) * * * Had Burke employed his own counsel who then sought to protect him, we would be faced with a different picture. The plaintiffs are in no position to raise the issue as to whether State Farm could re-enter the case. This right is one which is personal to the Burkes, (citations omitted) * * * “We hold that under the circumstances it was proper for State .Farm’s attorneys to seek to set aside the judgment against the Burkes and to seek to sustain that action on appeal.”
