    The car owner is now submitting a claim to cover cost of addressing damage to the car paintwork. The Strata Manager has advised this is not covered under OC insurance as the vehicle is not OC property.

    Wow! What a narrow and fundamentally flawed idea of liability.  So if your car’s handbrake fails and it runs down a hill and rolls over a prized collection of garden gnomes, your insurer isn’t liable because they didn’t cover the gnomes?

    If the strata manager fails to make a claim, the car owner can go straight to the strata insurer.  The next step after that would be to ask the strata commitee why they are employing that particular strata manager.
