Judge has very poor sense of unintended consequences. For this particular very specific case, yes the judge is right to force the farmer to pay. But this set precedence and dilute the stringent wording legality of contract. Now, if a teenage (Japan AV industry if you curious) show a thumbs up to a soul selling contract it is good because in the past she did it. Watch the Star Trek Strange new world ep2 and see how the judges should have refraint to make their decision. Any this is Canadian which in legality world consider one of the least prudence of all English speaking nations. Hence I am not surprise with this ruling. Basically Canadian has created law making from bench rather than parliament. Terrible judge even he is a nice person.
- GuB-42 3y agoThere was a precedent. The judge didn't rule that a thumbs up is a legally binding signature in all contexts. Here, the farmer have already accepted contracts and delivered with simple "yep" or "okay" answers, so the customer reasonably thought it was the same with a thumbs up emoji. Assuming it was legal for teenagers to sign contract for work in porn (that's what "AV" means for the uninitiated), which is most likely not the case, then if she performed after answering "yep" or "okay", then one should expect her to perform again on a thumbs up. The "soul selling" aspect is another matter and the contract may be deemed invalid on these grounds, and if she were asked to do more than the usual performance, the ruling may change. Judges are not just robots running code, they care about context.
