Rabbi ex-mistress lawsuit fails

A court threw out a lawsuit against a New York rabbi by his former mistress for reneging on his written agreement to pay her at least £62,000 if their relationship ended.

The panel said the contract could not be enforced - because it "facilitated adultery."

Rabbi Joel Goor, 75, was still married when he signed the cohabitation contract with Janet Pizzo, 50, who said they had a seven-year affair.
