A Canadian judge ruled that a thumbs-up emoji sent by phone represented a binding legal agreement. The case involved a grain seller replying to a sent contract with a thumbs-up, but then not delivering. The judge said Canada has to be ready to "meet the new challenges" that may arise from emoji usage. Chris Achter responded with a thumbs-up emoji, which Mickleborough interpreted as Achter entering into the contract, according to the legal documents. The company said the thumbs-up emoji only indicated that Achter had received the message, not that he had agreed to the contract, Achter said in an affidavit.

☆ Farmer owes $82,000 in contract dispute over use of a ‘thumbs-up’ emoji, judge says

New York CNN —A Canadian farmer owes $82,000 for breach of contract after using a “thumbs-up” emoji in a text. After phone calls with farmers Bob and Chris Achter, SWT drafted a contract for Chris Achter to sell SWT 86 metric tons of flax for $17 a bushel and deliver the flax in November. He said the only difference this time was Achter responded with a “thumbs-up” emoji instead of “ok”, “yup” or “looks good.”According to Achter in the court documents, he confirmed “the thumbs-up emoji simply confirmed that I received the Flax contract. It was not a confirmation that I agreed with the terms of the Flax Contract. In my opinion, when considering all of the circumstances that meant approval of the flax contract and not simply that he had received the contract and was going to think about it.

☆ Canadian farmer's thumbs-up emoji leads to $62,000 fine for undelivered flax

OTTAWA, July 7 (Reuters) - A Canadian farmer has been ordered to pay more than C$82,000 ($61,784) in damages over an emoji confusion that a Saskatchewan judge resolved by ruling that a thumbs-up image is enough to accept contractual terms. Chris Achter, the owner of a farming company in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, had sent a thumbs-up emoji in response to a photograph of a flax-buying contract sent to him by a grains buyer in 2021. Months later, when the time of the delivery arrived, the buyer - which had been doing business with Achter for several years - did not receive the flax. "In my opinion the signature requirement was met by the thumbs-up emoji originating from Chris and his unique cell phone," Keene said.
