General Statutes § 42-1 lOg (d) provides in relevant part: “In any action brought by a person under this section, the court may *789award, to the plaintiff, in addition to the relief provided in this section, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees based on the work reasonably performed by an attorney and not on the amount of recovery. . . .” The referee found a CUTPA violation, and we have affirmed the court’s acceptance of that finding. The standard of review for determining whether an authorized award of attorney’s fees is unreasonable pursuant to § 42-1 lOg (d) is whether the amount of the award represents an abuse of discretion by the court. Thames River Recycling, Inc. v. Gallo, 50 Conn. App. 767, 795, 720 A.2d 242 (1998). Under the facts of this case, we find no such abuse. The judgment is affirmed. In this opinion the other judges concurred.
