DEL SOLE, President Judge,
Concurring & Dissenting.
¶ 1 I join the Majority in all respects save one. I conclude that, while the filing of the 1993 lawsuit may not have been done in “bad faith,” it lacked sufficient probable cause of success so as to constitute a breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment.
¶ 2 The 1993 action was premised on the averment that the lease was automatically terminated for failure to pay taxes. However, the lease excluded such a failure as a basis for automatic termination. The trial court found, based on evidence of record, that the 1993 litigation prevented the bank from marketing the property and liquidating the mortgage and loan. I cannot say this was error. Thus, I would affirm the decision of the trial court.10

. Where the result is correct but for reasons not expressed by the trial court, an appellate court may affirm for the correct reasons. Commonwealth v. Singletary, 803 A.2d 769 (Pa.Super.2002).
