## Opinion text

Douglas, J.,
concurring in judgment only. While the majority continues, in this decision, to rely on a test for awarding attorney fees that has no basis in the statute, the majority nevertheless does reach the proper ultimate conclusion and, accordingly, I concur in the judgment.
Resnick and F.E. Sweeney, JJ., concur in the foregoing opinion.
