Daryl Hall Sues John Oates Over Alleged Contract Violation

Court grants temporary restraining order, preventing Oates from selling his share of their joint venture until dispute is resolved.

Daryl Hall has filed a lawsuit against his former musical partner John Oates, alleging that Oates violated their contract by moving to sell his portion of their business partnership without Hall's approval.
The lawsuit revolves around Oates' plan to sell his share of the duo's joint venture, Whole Oats Enterprises, to Primary Wave Music.
Hall's lawyers have successfully obtained a temporary restraining order, preventing Oates from completing the sale until at least February or until an arbitrator makes a decision.
Hall has accused Oates of committing the 'ultimate partnership betrayal' and has expressed concern that a sale by Oates to Primary Wave could leave his name and likeness vulnerable to exploitation.
Oates has denied any wrongdoing and his lawyers have argued that everything that has happened has been allowed legally.
