Overview
- Côté filed a Superior Court of Quebec suit claiming constructive dismissal and seeking two years’ salary plus CAD $75,000 in moral damages.
- He is also asking the court to lift a non‑compete clause that he says is being used to restrict his future employment.
- The lawsuit ties the dispute to the creation of Vantage Studios and a new Head of Franchise role that would absorb most of his responsibilities.
- Côté says he was offered a lower‑status Head of Production position reporting to that role, later followed by a proposal to lead a separate “creative house.”
- The filing states Ubisoft told him not to return on October 13 before announcing a voluntary departure on October 14, and Ubisoft has retained law firm Fasken to contest the case.
