Before O'BRIEN, C.J., and ROBERTS, NIX, LARSEN and FLAHERTY, JJ.

*33 ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Order, 284 Pa.Super. 1, 424 A.2d 1360, Affirmed. See Schreiber v. Pennsylvania Lumberman's Mutual Insurance Co., 498 Pa. 21, 444 A.2d 647 (1982).

NIX, J., files a concurring opinion.

KAUFFMAN and WILKINSON, JJ., did not participate in the decision of this case.

NIX, Justice, concurring.

The record in this case does not present a situation warranting equitable intervention; see, e.g., Schreiber v. Pennsylvania Lumberman's Mutual Insurance Company, 498 Pa. 21, 26, 444 A.2d 647, 649 (1982) (Nix, J. dissenting). Therefore I concur in the result.
