Overview
- An independent arbitrator, retired judge Patrick J. Walsh, rejected all of Mick Mars' claims and upheld his removal as an officer and director of Mötley Crüe Inc.
- Mars was ordered to repay $750,030 in unrecouped tour advances for missing 69 shows and to sell his ownership stake for $505,737, resulting in a net $244,293 award to the band.
- The decision affirmed that Mars forfeited rights to touring income when he stopped performing, consistent with the band's 2008 contractual amendment.
- Arbitration findings state Mars recanted his accusations about pre-recorded performances under oath after his own expert confirmed the band played live.
- Mars' attorney called the outcome awful and said they are evaluating a challenge, while the band declared full vindication and pointed to upcoming touring plans.
