*127KELLY, Judge,
concurring:
I concur in the result reached by the majority. The appellant sought, and this Court authorized, arbitration of the issue of whether the insurance contract between the parties included underinsurance coverage. The tort theory of misrepresentation was not within the authorized scope of arbitration. Therefore the trial court properly vacated the award of the arbitrators which was based on a finding of misrepresentation, rather than coverage under the policy. I would affirm the order of the trial court on this basis alone, and would not reach out to consider whether Hade v. Nationwide Insurance Co., 349 Pa.Super. 541, 503 A.2d 980 (1986), should be modified or overturned.
