Also means
cross-reference, referral
Usage Note
Renvoi has two common meanings: dismissal from a job (synonymous with licenciement in informal use) and an in-text cross-reference pointing elsewhere (as in voir renvoi 3). The word comes from the verb renvoyer ('to send back / dismiss'). In legal writing it specifically means a referral to another court or provision.
Examples
"Son renvoi a été confirmé par la direction."
Natural Translation
His dismissal was confirmed by management.
