  • Be careful with emoji, because they are legally binding in Canada

    Here is the article from CNN which gives you more context to this case:
    https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/07/business/farmer-contract-thumbs-up-emoji/index.html

    “…in March 2021, grain purchasers with South West Terminal, Ltd., sent a text message to grain suppliers wanting to buy flax for $17 per bushel for delivery in October, November, or December of that year. 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…”

    “…Achter never delivered the flax in November 2021, according to the documents. By November, the price of flax was $41 per bushel...”

    “…    The SWT representative said in court documents he had done at least four other contracts with Achter via text. He said the only difference this time was Achter responded with a “thumbs-up” emoji instead of “ok”, “yup” or “looks good.”…”
