My view is that the OC was correct to claimed on its insurance and make sure the common property was repaired promptly. The insurer is now within its rights to recover its cost from the person who caused the damage.
As suggested above, the person who ran into the wall should have liability cover as part of their car insurance or as part of their home contents insurance. The OC should not be paying to repair the wall.
It really is a huge risk to drive a car without having at least a 3rd party liability insurance. Your own car might not be worth much but it is still capable of crashing into somebody else’s expensive car or wall.
