In Pizzo v. Goor , Janet Pizzo sued Rabbi Joel Goor on an agreement which provided Pizzo would be paid a sum of money upon the termination of the couple's "cohabitation relationship" which consisted of "companionship (both platonic and sexual)."
When the Bronx County Supreme Court granted the Rabbi's motion to dismiss the case, Pizzo appealed to the Appellate Division, First Department, which found the agreement unenforceable.
And, since her fraud, unjust enrichment, constructive trust, and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims all arose from that questionable "deal," they also couldn't survive.
We're just wondering who got the benefit of that bargain?
Anyone wanna take a slice?
