The OHIO CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANY and William B. Frank, and Deborah Frank d/b/a Bougainvilla Court, a partnership, Appellants, v. AVALON CONSTRUCTION, INC., Appellee.
    No. 83-627.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Dec. 14, 1983.
    H.T. Maloney of Patterson & Maloney, Fort Lauderdale, for appellants.
    Edward D. Popkin of Popkin & Shurpin, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
   PER curiam;.

Here, as conceded by the parties, the trial court erred in awarding attorney fees without taking testimony or conducting a hearing. We reverse the award of attorney fees and remand with instructions to conduct a hearing and accept testimony as to the amount of a reasonable fee.

Otherwise the final judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed in part; reversed in part; and remanded for further proceedings.

GLICKSTEIN and WALDEN, JJ., and DAUKSCH, JAMES C., Associate Judge, concur.
