Argued October 11, 1977
Decided November 28, 1977.
Davis, Matthews & Quigley, Ron L. Quigley, Theodore Salter, Jr., for appellant.

Under the rationale of Strickland v. Williams, 215 Ga. 175 (109 SE2d 761) (1959), which expresses well the competing equities presented by the instant lawsuit, the claim of Flatbush Federal for attorney fees was correctly denied by the superior court.
