Interesting. Previous contracts between the parties were informal, over text message ("ok", "yup"). The emoji is an extra layer of informality, but it's the same effect. It's nice to see the courts keeping up.

- elmerfud 3y agoThat's a key a lot of the coverage of this issue misses out on highlighting. A contract fundamentally is a meeting of the minds and an acknowledgment of that. If former business had always been conducted between the two parties with paperwork, signatures, and lawyers it's unlikely the judge would have considered this a meeting of the minds. The history between these two clearly was the primary decider in that an emoji is acceptance.
