The payment of attorney’s fees is authorized explicitly by G. L. c. 186, § 14. An unsuccessful defendant is liable for "the costs of the action, including a reasonable attorney’s fee.” No exception is made where counsel is a legal services organization nor where the defendant is a public entity such as the BHA. We said recently that "when attorney’s fees are statutorily authorized legal service *764 organizations are entitled to receive such awards.” Lincoln St. Realty Co. v. Green,
