• noting that liability through the participation theory attaches for misfeasance but not for mere nonfeasance
• vacating trial court order directing PPCIGA to pay judgment, including delay damages, “because PPCIGA is not a party in this case, nor did any party in the underlying action file a declaratory judgment action against PPCIGA or otherwise seek to assert rights against PPCIGA.”
