Groupe TVA instituted proceedings claiming over $4.1 million dollars from Juste pour rire after the broadcast rights it had acquired became unusable following a sexual misconduct scandal involving its founder and CEO, Gilbert Rozon. TVA is claiming $4,095,768, the equivalent of the value of the unused broadcast rights from the time the Rozon affair broke. The Groupe also wants the right to refuse to pay Juste pour rire $685,074, the balance owing for the acquisition of certain gala events.
Groupe TVA believes that Juste pour rire breached its contractual obligations by failing to protect the content and value of the broadcast rights.
A Fasken team composed of Alain Riendeau and Christine Provencher are advising Groupe TVA in connection with this contractual dispute.
