And, by the way, its not MY shithole. I am not the owner, defendant, employee, or attorney. I just posted the article. That's all. I thought some might want to know there was a new article thats it.

I think we understand that the case is not dismissed just that the Judge dismissed the motion to allow class certification for the plantiffs. Well, what we also understand is that now the plantiffs will have to file individual suits if they proceed against HLA. How many parents can afford to move forward with individual suits after paying $100,000 or more to HLA? Helloooooo, we are not dumb, just realistic. To some people, the Judge dismissing the motion to certify the class action suit is the end of the road of suing HLA.


That is partly true. The plaintiffs named in the case originally may continue with the case. It appears that they are going to settle, but they have the right at any time to say that they want to continue to trial. Denying the motion to certify the class just means that they may not add any more plaintiffs who were not originally named in the complaint. So any other families who have the desire and money to sue HLA will have to file their own individual lawsuits.

Thanks for sharing all your legal wisdom L. It's very helpful. For clarification, it's my understanding that it wasn't the plaintiffs who wanted to settle, it was the lawfirm. They sat for 7 months or so waiting for the judge to make a ruling.

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---It looks like they chose to settle after all.  I can't believe HLA would agree to a settlement unless it meant an agreement of no more lawsuits.  This thing looks dead.  The parents did what HLA folks said they would do all along. Settle.  The good thing is that HLA had to make some much needed changes.  They will be better off for it.

it is not as simple as you stated.

In the Judges order, it stipulates "without prejudice" which means other
lawsuits can be filed.  Changes have been made thanks to the ORS getting off it's ass.  Now, let see if they are diligent in their monitoring.

If one thinks that the majority of the families would not prefer to have their day in court with Mr. Buccellato, they are mistaken.  The families would like nothing more than to be able to prove the allegations against
Mr. Buccellato and HLA.
