Judge has very poor sense of unintended consequences. For this particular very specific case, yes the judge is right to force the farmer to pay. But this set precedence and dilute the stringent wording legality of contract. Now, if a teenage (Japan AV industry if you curious) show a thumbs up to a soul selling contract it is good because in the past she did it. Watch the Star Trek Strange new world ep2 and see how the judges should have refraint to make their decision. Any this is Canadian which in legality world consider one of the least prudence of all English speaking nations. Hence I am not surprise with this ruling. Basically Canadian has created law making from bench rather than parliament. Terrible judge even he is a nice person.
