*278Subsequently, the tenants filed a motion seeking an award of attorney’s fees and costs arising out of the appeal. The lessor filed a motion for relief from judgment, claiming that multiple damages could not be awarded absent a finding of bad faith. The basis of her motion is a decision of this court, McGrath v. Mishara, 386 Mass. 74 (1982), decided subsequent to the decision by the Appeals Court. See Mass. R. Civ. P. 60 (b) (6), 365 Mass. 828 (1974).

P. 5, as appearing in 378 Mass. 924 (1979). We transferred the case to this court on our own motion.
