Absolutely. I’m just saying that even without the context of the guy having done this multiple times, it still makes sense to see this as an approval.
I personally would never handle contracts this way, but if I sent someone a contract and they responded with that emoji, I would interpret it as an approval. If someone sent me a contract and I responded with that emoji, I would intend it as an approval. So even without the context of the guy’s previous contract approvals, I agree with the judge’s ruling.
