Judge rules Saskatchewan farmer’s use of thumbs-up emoji was contractual agreement

Considering verbal contracts are enforceable I’m not surprised the judge would rule this way.

I wonder if a real life thumbs up would be enforceable.

This is why the only hand jestures I use in real life are 🤘🤙and 🖕… Although now I’m wondering if the last one would be solicitation? Or consent?

Yeah, but I think it was a miscommunication. The contract was sent over text with “please confirm the contract”, but he was expecting a fax to sign and the thumbs up was a confirmation that he would sign it once he got it. Maybe I don’t know enough but I do kinda have to side with the farmer on this one.

Edit: ok I read a bit more, maybe not as this article mentions that they’ve previously confirmed messages over text. Idk
