TL;DR

Daryl Hall has filed a restraining order against his longtime musical partner John Oates to prevent him from selling his shares in their joint venture to music publishing firm Primary Wave. Hall alleges that Oates' intent to sell is a breach of contract. Primary Wave already owns a significant interest in Hall & Oates' music following a deal Hall made in 2006. The legal battle between the duo has revealed simmering tension, with Hall referring to Oates as his business partner rather than his creative partner. The next hearing is scheduled for November 30.
