The case, which made international headlines, surrounded a text conversation between South West Terminal Ltd. (SWT) and Achter Land & Cattle Ltd. over a flax contract.
On March 26, 2021, a representative of SWT sent a text to the owners of Achter with details of the flax delivery argument. Following several calls, the contract was drafted.
The SWT representative took a photo of the signed contract to one of Achter’s owners with the message “Please confirm flax contract.”
Achter’s owner responded with a thumbs-up emoji, court documents showed.
However, the flax was not delivered in November, as stated in the contract.
SWT argued that a text message with a thumbs-up emoji was understood as an agreement that Achter would deliver flax to the company.
