As you'll see from today's column in the Herald, the fact that the OC aren't aware or even couldn't possibly be aware of a problem is no defence against a claim that they are liable for common property and any damage cause by its failure. It seems to be an absolute responsiblity without limit. Is it uninsurable? Probably not – just bloody expensive. And I agree it shouldn't be like this – but it is.
