DELL, Judge, concurring specially:
I concur in the result reached by the majority because of the unusual circumstances of this case. However, I am compelled to point out that the cases relied upon by the Court in Marrero v. Cavero, supra, involve claims for attorneys fees under a statute. Miami Lincoln Mercury, Inc. v. Kramer, 399 So.2d 1003 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981) upheld appellant’s entitlement to attorneys fees in an action brought under Section 817.41(6), Florida Statutes (1979) and Ocala Music and Marine Center v. Caldwell, 389 So.2d 222 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980) permitted the award of attorneys fees to a prevailing party in an action brought under Section 501.210, Florida Statutes (1977).
