The opinion
ON PETITION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM:
The plaintiff has filed a petition for rehearing solely to seek a clarification on the issue of attorneys’ fees on appeal. We grant rehearing to explain that our determination that each party shall bear its own costs is without prejudice to plaintiffs application, on remand, for attorneys’ fees for this appeal, as to which fees we intimate no opinion. In all other respects, rehearing is denied.
