A New York judge has ruled against comedian Jerry Seinfeld in a dispute over a commission on a real estate transaction. Seinfeld was ordered to pay real estate broker Tamara Cohen $98,000 after allegedly trying to avoid giving her a sales commission by buying directly from the owner of an Upper West Side townhouse, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Seinfeld tried to avoid paying the commission because Cohen, a Shomer Shabbos Yid, was not available when Seinfeld wanted to view the house, the Post said.
In accordance with Halacha, Cohen’s phone was turned off on the particular Shabbos when Seinfeld and his wife wanted to view the house.
“The only real issue here … is whether the broker’s fee was 5 or 6 percent,” the judge said in the ruling. Cohen could get as much as $118,500 if the fee is found to be 6 percent.
