The opinion

DISSENTING OPINION BY

Judge LEADBETTER.

I agree entirely with the well-reasoned opinion of the majority. However, since employer has not contested the reasonableness of the costs awarded, but only whether it was proper to make any such *1135 award at all, I would not remand, but would simply affirm.
