Thanks Urban & Dean, but this is a Strata matter, and my vehicle's covered by the Owners Corporation's Insurance (Legal Liability) that as an Owner I contribute to!
If I claim against my own Insurance, my NCB will increase, my next premium will increase, and my Specialist Insurer like most others will probably not try to recover its costs from the at-fault party (the Owners Corporation).
I appreciate your opinions, but as my original post stated, the Owners Corporation was supposed to have all the leachate points identified and fixed as part of a Common Property Risk Assessment in both 2009 and 2010, and they didn't do that Assessment and didn't fix the leachate problems that ultimately damaged my car – now they're ducking, weaving, and being less than honest with me about these problems with Common Property that they're legally responsible for maintaining.
What do the Strata Lawyers think?
(PS – my car's at the repairers now, and I'll pay for those – and possibly go to the Small Claims Court to seek a judgement for $1K of my costs, because I shouldn't have parked in the unmarked visitors' space; even for 15 hours)
