A Connecticut Superior Court judge enjoined the state from refunding former Stone Academy students after the plaintiffs filed an emergency motion for temporary injunction, arguing that the form would require the students to waive their rights.

Stone Academy, a for-profit nursing school, closed without warning last February, leading to a class action that alleged officials were aware the school was on death’s doorstep, but still enrolled students. The complaint said the defendants “sold the class members a ticket to a sinking ship.” The plaintiffs have so far been awarded $5 million in prejudgment remedy.
