A North Miami Beach lawyer is saying he misspoke and settled a long-running case without his client’s permission.

David Javits of Javits & Associates represented St. Mary’s School of Medicine, fending off a lawsuit by a former student upset over never getting a degree. A footnote in the appellate ruling notes that St. Mary’s, which operates in St. Lucia and the Cook Islands in the South Pacific, shuttered in 2009 and never reopened.
