We go on to consider the question of attorney's fees accrued in defending this appeal. There is no question that G.L.c. 186, § 15B (7), authorized the trial judge to award attorney's fees originally incurred at trial to the tenants. See Darmetko v. Boston Hous. Auth., 378 Mass. 758, 763-764 (1979). We turn now to the question of an award by the judge of additional attorney's fees incurred in defending the appeal in a G.L.c. 186, § 15B, action, the Appeals Court having remained silent on the issue.
