    With all due respect to Jimmy T and his answer above I’d like to make some comments.

    Who laid the decking? Was it the OC or the builder when the place was built, or was it added on top of the existing surface as an option or by a subsequent owner? If the latter then I’d say it’s the responsibility of the owner.

    If the owner had sole access to the area then I would assume they are responsible for ensuring any drains are not blocked. If they neglected to keep drains clear I assume the subsequent stagnant water damaged the decking.
