You clearly didn't read the actual judgement. It very clearly states Insects and/or vermin. I'm pretty sure that qualifies as a reasonable term for 'other small lifeforms'.
The judgment is very clear that it rejects the claims for BOTH the insect and vermin clause, and acknowledges that while spiders are not "scientifically" insects, they are insects according to normal use, and also because of previous case-law.
- microtherion 6y agoIt seems to me that the insurance company had a pretty straightforward case that spiders are "vermin". I don't understand why the court had to go into the dubious proposition that spiders are "insects".
