Overview

• The Paris Court of Appeal on June 25 annulled Guy’s December 2020 dismissal from Canal+.
• Judges ordered his immediate reinstatement at the network and awarded him more than €700,000 in back wages.
• Guy had been sacked after using live airtime to defend humorist Sébastien Thoen following his abrupt removal.
• A 2022 labour court previously judged the firing abusive, prompting Canal+ to contest that decision at appeal.
• Under the ruling, Guy is set to return to Canal+ with the launch of the new programming season this autumn.
