      Recently a relative had water damage to floor boards and had to meet the repair cost.

      The water damage was from the buildings water pipe in the common property which run up the building in a shaft in the public hallways. The leak had occurred one floor above. To be clear the leak did not arise from any apartments but from common property.

      The Executive Committee denied responsibility. When asked to check the Owners corporation insurance policy they responded there was no cover. As my relative  had no contents insurance he had to meet the cost of new floor boards and installation. Of note the Body Corporate attempted to argue that the floor boards were not approved but this proved tongue in cheek when written approval was produced.

      Your opinion on the legal position would be appreciated.
