        We have $1,000,000 for ‘office bearer’s liability’ and $20,000,000 for ‘legal liability’ (IE 3rd party liability). I think those amounts are pretty standard though we are just over 100 units.

                    You are paying the correct amount according to strata law because you are paying your share according to your unit entitlements. If unit entitlements were based solely on the area…
