In Eastside Corp. v. City of New York, 52 AD3d 387 (1st Dept 2008), in which the First Department affirmed a lower Court decision denying fees on interest. However, the First Department did not hold that attorneys fees on interest was improper but only, that "the court was not bound by claimant's retainer agreement with counsel, which provided for attorney fees to be calculated as a percentage of the interest portion of the award as well as principal; it was required only to assess reasonable attorneys fees".
