The LMA Livestock and Bloodstock Committee has published updates to all equine wordings containing the phrase ‘humane destruction’, replacing it with the more modern veterinary term ‘euthanasia’.

The updated wordings are available via the Lloyd’s Wording Repository (LWR).

The previous versions of these wordings will be archived in line with the LMA Archive and Withdrawal process.

All LMA model documents are purely illustrative and are published and distributed for the guidance of Lloyd’s managing agents, brokers and other market participants. All contracting parties are free to agree to different conditions/amend the model documents as they see fit; the LMA does not protect its intellectual property rights over model documents. It is for underwriters to decide whether or not any contractual language is acceptable on any given risk.
