J. Lauritzen A.S. v Wijsmuller B.V, (The Super Servant Two) [1990] 1 Lloyd's Rep 1 more commonly known as The Super Servant Two was a Court of Appeal case in English contract law.
The claimants in the case, J. Lauritzen A/S, were the owners of an oil drilling rig that the defendants Wijsmuller had agreed to transport from Japan to Rotterdam.
However, in July 1981 the Super Servant Two was sunk in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) while transporting another rig.
[1] The Court of Appeal ruled that the defendants could not rely on the doctrine of frustration and that the defendants would have to bear the additional costs of transporting the rig.
A ruling has been described as "a harsh decision open to criticism".
