Why would anyone go to court for referring? Sounds like thewhole thing was thrown out.

A paid professional referral source, such as an educational consultant, has an ethical as well as a legal responsibility to refer a client to the most appropriate program. A school that accepts pedophiles - and there is documented proof that HLA has - is not a school any sane referring professional would recommend to a client without fear of legal reprisal.

No, no, no, friend. Not at all. If the email is true, it was dismissed without prejudice meaning it can be brought again.
Now, let me educate you from in insider's perspective. By the time the "agreement in principle" to settle had been drafted, the plaintiffs were demanding a trial and no settlement. This actually furthers the goals of plaintiffs and opens HLA to much more legal jeopardy; to wit dozens of individual lawsuits and a new class action more widely drawn including abuse and neglect in addition to fraud.
This, although spun as positive by Len, is a disaster for HLA who can now not "get off the hook" without admission of wrongdoing and a meager class settlement.
Now Len will face numerous individual lawsuits for millions of dollars which he will have to pay to defend individually - each and every one. One or more will likely be successful and include admission of wrondoing and hefty penalties for injuries and punitive damages.
This is the nightmare scenario Len was looking to avoid. In my opinion, this is the final nail in the coffin for HLA. David Sullivan, if you're legitimate, you should smell the blood in the water right now...

I think there has been some confusion. The LAWSUIT was not dismissed without prejudice. The MOTION TO CERTIFY CLASS was dismissed without prejudice. The case will still go on.

Thanks for clarifying. Either way, this becomes a horror show for Len. No easy settlement, suit progressing, discovery to come soon - the skeletons will be tumbling out of the closets at HLA...
