    TAGGART CORPORATION, Appellant, v. E. Christopher BENZING, Appellee.
    No. 82-1907.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    June 27, 1984.
    
      Louis L. Hamby, III, of Alley, Maass, Rogers, Lindsay & Chauncey, Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Walter N. Colbath, Jr., P.A., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   ON MOTION TO REVIEW ORDER DENYING ATTORNEY’S FEES

LETTS, Judge.

We have already ruled on the merits of this cause. See Taggart Corporation v. Benzing, 434 So.2d 964 (Fla. 4th DCA 1983).

Pursuant to that opinion, we separately granted the appellant’s request for attorney’s fees on appeal and remanded the cause to the trial court to assess same upon due notice and hearing pursuant to Florida Appellate Rule 9.400(b).

Notwithstanding our unequivocal instruction to the contrary, the trial court refused to award these attorney’s fees because the services on appeal “would not have been required had evidence of attorney’s fees been presented at trial.” However, in our original opinion we considered this very point and reached the conclusion that evidence of attorney’s fees did not have to be presented at trial. Moreover, our order granting attorney’s fees on appeal was obviously entered with our knowledge that no evidence of attorney’s fees had been presented at trial.

We, therefore, remand this cause and direct the trial court to consider and assess attorney’s fees on appeal in accordance with our earlier order.

We decline to award additional attorney’s fees for the time incurred to file the motion to enforce our earlier mandate. We have reviewed the transcripts of the continued hearing and do not find that the pronounced reason for avoiding our earlier directive was the brainchild of the appellee.
