Suisse Atlantique Societe d'Armament SA v NV Rotterdamsche Kolen Centrale [1967] 1 AC 361 is a landmark English contract law decision of the House of Lords, concerning the notions of fundamental breach of contract and inequality of bargaining power.
It was subsequently upheld by another House of Lords case, Photoproductions v Securicor,[1] and together these two cases form the definitive statement of the common law prior to the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.
