Daryl Hall, one half of the iconic music duo Hall & Oates, has sued and obtained a restraining order against John Oates. Though much of the suit and the order remain under seal, the AP reports that Hall is trying to stop Oates from selling his share in the joint venture Whole Oats Enterprises LLP to a management company. Hall argues the sale would violate a business agreement the two had forged. The suit was filed in Nashville on Nov. 15. Chancellor Russell Perkins issued a temporary restraining order the next day. The case is set for a court hearing on Thursday.
