The ongoing legal battle between Daryl Hall and John Oates — the duo famously known as Hall & Oates — stems from Oates wanting to sell off his share of a joint venture.<\/span><\/p>\n According to <\/span>The Associated Press<\/a><\/em>, Oates is trying to unload his share of Whole Oats Enterprises LLP to Primary Wave IP Investment Management LLC. Hall’s lawsuit and subsequent <\/span>temporary restraining order<\/a> against his bandmate has since temporarily blocked the sale as the legal proceedings play out in court.<\/span><\/p>\n The outlet reports that Hall sued Oates — along with his wife, Aimee Oates, and the co-trustees of the John W. Oates TISA Trust — claiming that Oates’ attempt to sell his share of Whole Oats Enterprises LLP violates the terms of a business agreement the Hall & Oates duo forged years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n These new details have emerged after a Nashville Chancery Court Judge allowed some documents to be unsealed, and there’s a hearing slated for Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n According to <\/span>Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>, Primary Wave IP already owns a “significant interest” in Hall & Oates’ music catalog, following a deal Hall struck with Primary Wave in 2006. He later publicly admitted that he regretted making the deal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
