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 π€π€and π... 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 βplease confirm the contractβ, 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 donβt 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 theyβve previously confirmed messages over text. Idk

According to the courts you agree with the ruling and have not simply read the article.
This is what I don't like about Teams on my android phone. There is no "Mark Read" button on the notification. It's either reply or like or open the app.
what i don't like about teams is teams
I mean, yeah. Best practice to be more clear though
I mean, it's a touch screen on a buggy-as-hell smartphone. Argue accidental input.
What if he had texted "ππ€£π€£π€£" or "π jk"? Or if the snarky thumbs-up was implied by the texter? There's a heck of a lot of room for ambiguity.
That seems like the correct ruling. Any reasonable person would think that a thumbs up emoji equates to "yes", "good", "affirmative" or any other word of agreement. Trying to get out of a contract because you used an emoji is a complete dick move.
