The University of Maine's Student Government may pursue legal action against the band My Chemical Romance. After canceling Saturday night's show, Student Government sent the band two letters demanding compensation for costs incurred. These costs include advertising, money paid to outside contractors and cancellation fees. These costs total over $20,500.The band cancelled on Thursday, stating that drummer Bob Bryar's health was going to interfere with Saturday's performance. The band then played a concert on Friday night."Unless it is truly due to sickness or injury of the band, we intend to seek full damages for breach of contract," Derek Mitchell, the vice president of student entertainment said. "When they played Friday night, I think that kind of voids an 'Act of God' claim."Student Government's contract with the band included an "Act of God" clause that if an emergency were to occur, the band could cancel without consequences. The contract also states that if the band cancelled without good cause the band would be charged.Student Government has given the band two weeks to pay. After Nov. 12 the General Student Senate will vote if they want to pursue a lawsuit or not. Student Government would be represented by the legal services on campus."Come Monday, if we haven't received a check or have no word from them that they intend to pay, we can go to senate on Tuesday night and discuss it further," Mitchell said. He said a lawsuit would incur no additional costs to Student Government.If Student Government does file a lawsuit, the contract states that it would be resolved in Bangor. Usually these types of cases are resolved in the band's choice of cities. "We're not going to go to their turf; they are going to have to come to ours," Mitchell said.Mitchell said that he expects the senate to support a lawsuit if the band does not pay before Nov. 12. "Essentially this loss of $20,000 is a loss of their constituents money. It is really their obligation to allow us to legally recover that in any way possible," he said. "I'm going to fight this to the death. Students will get their money back. It will come back to student entertainment, and we will have big concerts."

According to a University of Maine student government representative, the university may file a lawsuit against rock band My Chemical Romance due to a cancelled show.

The band cited health concerns for drummer Bob Bryar in the cancellation notification on Thursday, but played a show on the proceeding Friday. The cancellation reason is considered an 'Act of God', and relieves both parties from any obligations.

"Unless it is truly due to sickness or injury of the band, we intend to seek full damages for breach of contract. When they played Friday night, I think that kind of voids an 'Act of God' claim," Derek Mitchell, the vice president of student entertainment said. 

The lawsuit, if agreed upon by the General Student Senate, would seek US$20,500 for advertising, ticket sales, contractor fees, and cancellation fees.
