We are getting off topic here but I have to agree with Whale (as usual).
The guttering is common property and, under common law, the owners corp is responsible for any damage it causes, regardless of whether it is well maintained or not.
Rejection of a claim by an insurer is not a “get out of jail free” card, as many people seem to think.
It’s the opposite and the owners corp has to either fight the insurer or dip into their funds to pay for the damage.
