RATLIFF, Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
On the basis of Berkemeter v. Rushville National Bank, (1982) Ind.App., 438 N.E.2d 1054, I dissent from that part of the majority opinion which upholds the award of attorneys' fees. This is not a routine case involving a relatively small amount within the exception to the requirement of evidence to support awards of attorneys' fees. Berkemeier. I would reverse and remand for an evidentiary hearing requiring proof of the amount and reasonableness of attorneys' fees to support such an award.
In all other respects, I concur in the majority opinion.
