MUSMANNO, J.,
concurring and dissenting:
¶ 1 I agree with my colleagues in the majority that the Petreccas’ breach of contract claim should be remanded to the trial court for a jury trial. In light of this Court’s decision in Mishoe v. Erie Ins. Co., 762 A.2d 369 (Pa.Super.2000), which held that there is no right to a jury trial for claims brought pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 8371,1 I see no reason to re-try the Petreccas’ bad faith claim as the learned trial court has aptly decided that claim.

. We are aware that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has granted allowance of appeal in Mishoe. See Mishoe, 566 Pa. 666, 782 A.2d 547 (2001).
