A Saskatchewan court rules emoji is just as valid as a signature and orders a farmer to pay $61,442 for unfulfilled contract

I imagine that kind of financial penalty is going to cripple that farmer for a very long time…

The issue on the farmers part though is that it seems like he was busy fulfilling the contract and didn’t meet the deadline, and is using the emoji argument as a way out of the contract?

Irrelevant, the 💩 emoji is the one that needs to be legally binding
