    In Victoria, I have an example of a strange case where the insurance company paid out quite a large some of money to the owner of the apartment whose washing machine cable had burst and damaged their own contents apartment.

    The claim was made against the buildings strata insurance.  The strata ended up paying only the excess.
    Apparently this was done because the owner did not have contents insurance and possibly because it compromised the building slab.
