Canadian court rules thumbs-up emoji counts as signing a contract

A Saskatchewan court has ruled against a grain buyer who responded to a contract sent to him with a thumbs-up emoji, forcing him to honour the agreement, New York Times reports.

The dispute between farmer Kent Mickelborough and grain buyer Chris Atcher arose when Mickelborough signed a contract to sell 87 metric tons of flax and sent it for Atcher to sign.

And middle finger emoji counts as decline. This is madness

 

[BomberManVR6]

Ja-Nee.

Ja-Nee also counts as accepted. Ja is before Nee

Probably need a dictionary of some sorts, for example, what if he replied with a smiley face, or the poop emoji, is that a Yay or a Nay?

Where is that thread about the world's biggest nuclear powerplant planned for Canada?
Thumbs up for the deal?

My feeling is this will likely be overturned on appeal. A different court would also rule differently on different matters. A thumbsup is too ambiguous.

Did the message say, "Please indicate by means of a thumbs up whether you approve of said contract"?

Also, where is the signature..

Sounds like a joke. The thumps up is not on the contract

 

[RedViking]

The know what thumbs up mean, but yet they don't know how to identify a boy or a girl.

Bonkers.
