Montreal's Just for Laughs comedy festival company assets seized due to non-payment to a former employee, leading to festival cancellation.

The company was ordered to compensate an archivist who was laid off in 2019. Just days later, the company cancelled the summer's festival in Montreal and adopted federal bankruptcy measures to protect itself from creditors.
