The parties entered into a settlement agreement in 2016, whereby Appellant Christopher Freeman agreed to provide access to his unit on a particular day. The settlement agreement stated that, following inspection by Appellee Omega Condominium No. 10, Inc., the trial court would "hold a hearing to determine if [Appellee *287was] entitled to fees and costs" and the amount awardable. There is no indication in the record that the issue of Appellee's entitlement to prevailing party fees was ever subjected to an evidentiary hearing. Therefore, we reverse.
The dissent focuses on the fact that the transcript of the May 17, 2016 hearing before Judge Lynch in the appellate record is an excerpt. However, we are satisfied that the excerpt pages are sequentially numbered, with no pages missing, and the flow of the dialogue in those pages does not appear to skip over a portion of the hearing. We acknowledge that at the hearing to determine the amount of fees, Appellee's counsel argued to Judge Bidwill that the transcript of the May 17 hearing is missing sixty pages, the accuracy of which we question. We conclude that the alleged missing pages could not have recorded the presentation of evidence on entitlement for two reasons. First, the trial clerk's progress notes submitted as part of the appellate record does not indicate any evidence was presented at the May 17 hearing. Second, and more importantly, the statements of Judge Lynch in the transcript excerpt strongly negate the conclusion that evidence on entitlement was heard earlier in the hearing.
A review of the first five pages of the excerpt clearly shows a discussion by Judge Lynch about what was actually set for a hearing that day, including discussion about a motion for protective order and motion to compel. There was also discussion about what was heard during proceedings on May 9. Immediately thereafter, Judge Lynch asked Appellee's counsel, "So it is your position that we are here today on the entitlement issue," to which Appellee's counsel replied, "Yes." Judge Lynch then turned to Appellant in inquire about his motion to continue the entitlement hearing, which Judge Lynch received the night before or that morning, as follows:
My question is real simple once I figure out what we probably are here for. We are here for his motion to determine entitlement to attorney's fees and costs. And you tell me that you are requesting that I not go forward with that hearing and you want to continue it for what reason?
(emphasis added). It is difficult to read that portion of the excerpt and conclude that, many pages above that portion of the transcript, there was testimonial or documentary evidence presented on the issue of entitlement to fees. It defies logic that the parties would be clarifying to the judge what was to be heard that day if evidence of entitlement had been presented earlier in the proceedings that day. The discussion about the motion to continue the hearing was not in the context of Appellant seeking to present more evidence; instead, the discussion was in the context of postponing the hearing altogether. Thus, it defies logic that such a discussion would occur if evidence had already been presented. The combination of Judge Lynch's comments lead us to conclude that no evidence was presented earlier in the hearing on the motion to determine entitlement.
Accordingly, we remand this case to the trial court for the purpose of conducting an evidentiary hearing on the issue of Appellee's entitlement to fees and costs. Should the trial court determine that Appellee is the prevailing party and entitled to fees and costs, it may incorporate the calculations and findings from the March 31, 2017 hearing regarding the amount of fees and costs without the necessity of further evidence on that issue.
Reversed and Remanded.
