PER CURIAM

       AND NOW, this 30th day of August, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue[s] set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all

remaining issues. The issue[s], as stated by petitioner, is:


            Whether this Court should ratify the requirements of Terletsky v.
       Prudential Property & Casualty Insurance Co., 649 A.2d 680 (Pa. Super.
       1994), appeal denied, 659 A.2d 560 (Pa. 1995), for establishing insurer
       bad faith under 42 Pa.C.S. § 8371, and assuming the answer to be in the
       affirmative, whether the Superior Court erred in holding that Terletsky
       factor of a “motive of self-interest or ill-will” is merely a discretionary
       consideration rather than a mandatory prerequisite to proving bad faith?
