I realize the status of this lawsuit that it was thrown out??I meant the wording of the new contracts...just curious to know if they eliminated the clause altogether or reworded it to ?cap? it off at a ceiling price.

It's so wonderful watching a program choke on it's own bullshit

The clause has been eliminated in its entirety because it is a violation of public policy.
Why do you have such a big interest in HLA? You didn't have a child attend HLA so what's your motive? Are you involved with another program and just fishing for information to try to protect them? In the past you've pretty much defended your precious TBS's - your new found support doesn't seem sincere and I don't trust you.

Who is not here to be supportive. Read carefully.
Everyone should be protected from fivolous lawsuit, and they are. Anyone has the right to request that their attorney fees be paid by the plaintiff if the suit has no merit, with or without any contract clause.
In this case, it's like asking a rape victim to cover the perpetrator's legal expenses.
How many parents has that clause stopped from acting?
I think it's been very effective for the purpose it was intended.

I am interested in the details of the outcome of this lawsuit. I believe it could be a small landmark case which will affect the industry and shape the way schools apply (or don?t apply) for licenses and if the schools will gradually adjust their model to a more clinical one (as a result) which can eventually be measured for effectiveness based on a feedback system. I believe this is the future of many of these schools especially as they begin to get more and more specialized in their acceptance of children to insure success.
I know many people here believe I defend all TBSs and the reason, I believe, is that many here feel they are all are evil and may find it hard to believe some may be good and others may be bad. I support some programs which I am familiar with, not the whole industry, as many here believe.
