MONTREAL -- Quebec Superior Court has authorized a class-action lawsuit against former Just For Laughs head Gilbert Rozon.
Several women sought permission last fall to file the suit against the co-founder of the popular comedy festival for alleged sexual assault and harassment.
They created a group called "Les Courageuses" ("The Courageous Ones") and alleged Rozon abused at least 20 women between 1982 and 2016.
The women are seeking $10 million in damages.
Rozon had fought the legal action and was unsuccessful in a separate motion in having the words "rape" and "sexual predator" removed from the women's court filing.
Justice Donald Bisson ruled in their favour in a judgment issued today, saying they have the right to have their case heard on the merits.
