Daryl Hall Accuses John Oates of 'Ultimate Partnership Betrayal' Over Planned Sale

A judge has temporarily blocked the sale of Oates' share in their joint venture, Whole Oats Enterprises, amidst ongoing legal proceedings and arbitration.

Daryl Hall has accused John Oates of planning to sell his share of their joint venture, Whole Oats Enterprises, without Hall's permission, a move Hall has termed the 'ultimate partnership betrayal'.
A judge has issued a temporary restraining order blocking the sale of Oates' share to Primary Wave IP Investment Management LLC while legal proceedings and a previously initiated arbitration continue.
Hall alleges that the sale was timed to cause him the most harm, as it unfolded while he was on tour and amidst mediation on other issues.
Hall has expressed particular concern about the sale to Primary Wave, stating he does not agree with their business model and is upset about the potential exploitation of his name and likeness rights.
The dispute is occurring amidst a broader 'divorce' between Hall and Oates, with discussions of dissolving their touring company and other joint ventures.
