Hall & Oates Lawsuit Exposes Industry Secrets

Daryl Hall has filed a lawsuit against his music partner John Oates, claiming that Oates' plan to sell his share of their joint venture, Whole Oats Enterprises LLP, violates their business agreement. A judge has issued a temporary restraining order to block the sale until an arbitrator weighs in on the deal. The lawsuit alleges that the sale was made in violation of a confidentiality provision and is the result of a breach of contract. The details of the business agreement and the proposed sale remain undisclosed. The case will be heard in court on November 30.
