Opinion of the Court

OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM.

Based upon the authority of Durene v. Alcime, 448 So.2d 1208 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), the award of reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing party is mandatory and the trial court has no discretion to deny the award.

Accordingly, this case is reversed and remanded to the trial court for action consistent with this ruling.
