Opinion of the Court

ON MOTION FOR REHEARING

BARFIELD, Judge.

By affirmance of the trial court, we hold that when a prevailing party has properly pled entitlement to attorney fees pursuant to the terms of a contract, the proof of such fees may be presented for the first time after final judgment pursuant to a motion for attorney’s fees. Cheek v. McGowan Electric Supply, Co., 483 So.2d 1373 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985).

We certify this holding to the Florida Supreme Court as presenting a question of great public importance.

SHIVERS and JOANOS, JJ., concur.
