OPINION
NIX, Justice.
The question presented in this appeal is whether the amount of punitive damages awarded in an action seeking monetary relief for bodily injury, death or property damage is to be included in the basis of the computation of damages for delay pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 238. The majority of a Superior Court panel, reversing the trial court, held that *82punitive damages must be excluded from the computation of delay damages. For the reasons which follow we affirm the order of the Superior Court, 307 Pa.Super. 478, 453 A.2d 987.
