‘Racy novel’ case adjourned

AN employment tribunal involving an English teacher who was sacked after she wrote a racy novel about her pupils was adjourned yesterday.

Leonora Rustamova, 40, who was known as Miss Rusty to her pupils, lost her job after her novel detailed teenage fantasies, violence and a criminal drug den.

Her case was due to be heard at an employment tribunal in Leeds but was adjourned to allow more time to read documents.
