   PER CURIAM:

In light of the answers to certified questions by the Supreme Court of Alabama, 482 So.2d 1201 (Ala.1986), the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. With respect to Foster’s claim that the district court erred in its award of attorney’s fees, we conclude that there is no error. Foster is entitled to attorney’s fees on this appeal, the amount to be determined by the district court. Costs on appeal shall be borne by Jesup and Lamont.
