Judge rules Saskatchewan farmer’s use of thumbs-up emoji was contractual agreement
A Saskatchewan judge says an emoji can amount to a contractual agreement and ordered a farmer to pay more than $82,000 for not delivering product to a grain buyer after responding to a text message with a thumbs-up image.
Achter texted back a thumbs-up emoji. But when November came around, the flax was not delivered and prices for the crop had increased. “I deny that he accepted the thumbs-up emoji as a digital signature of the incomplete contract,” Achter said in an affidavit to court.
