(a)the policy in respect of any contract of insurance which the owner of that other flat is required to have or to effect; and
(b)payment of the premium for any such policy,
and not later than 14 days after that notice is given the recipient shall produce to the owner giving the notice the evidence requested.
(6)The duty imposed by subsection (1) above on an owner may be enforced by any other owner.
