This was an interesting case from Canada (which has very similar civil law to our own) - https://www.legalcheek.com/2023/07/thum ... ian-court/

It'll be interesting to see whether the same conclusion would be reached in an English court, but I'd be fairly confident that in the same circumstances it would.

However, I can see a whole new jurisprudence developing as to the interpretation of the meaning of different emojis - it's only a matter of time before the Supreme Court rules on whether a smiling emoji means "Yes, I'm happy to agree" or "You're 'avin' a larf!"

(or as the case may be)

Feels sensible to me. A contract can be agreed in lots of ways. It’s the intent that’s important.
