Description

This is an appeal and cross appeal from a final judgment finding that O'Kon and Company (O'Kon) was not entitled to an architectural fee and that appellees/cross appellants (RSW) were not entitled to recover on their claim of slander of title for O'Kon's wrongful filing of a statutory mechanic's lien, or their claim that the lien was willfully exaggerated and fraudulent. We affirm the appeal and cross appeal, but remand to the trial court for an award of attorney's fees to RSW, as RSW successfully resisted O'Kon's claim for mechanic's lien and is entitled to a fee under section 713.29, Florida Statutes (1987). Allen v. Scott, 358 So.2d 1112 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978). O'Kon is a Georgia corporation engaged in the business of providing architectural and engineering services with respect to hotel projects. RSW proposed to construct a hotel on property in Leon County and contracted with O'Kon on December 1, 1984, for architectural, engineering and project management services. In the contract, O'Kon warranted that it was properly licensed to carry out the terms of the agreement. O'Kon's fee of $285,000 was made contingent upon RSW's obtaining a construction loan to build the project, except that $40,000 was paid initially.
