A confidential legal battle is brewing between rock duo Hall & Oates, with Daryl Hall securing a temporary restraining order against John Oates.
Hall, through his trust, filed a lawsuit against Oates on Nov. 16, along with a motion to keep the case under seal. The next day, Nashville Chancery Court Judge Russell Perkins issued a restraining order to start Nov. 30. It’s unknown why the order was issued or how long it will stay in effect. Philadelphia magazine first reported the suit on Monday.
The nature of the matter is unclear, though the court labeled it a “contract/debt” dispute. Summons were issued on Monday to Aimee Oates and Richard Flynn, as co-trustees of Oates’ trust.
A restraining bond for Hall, which is intended to compensate Oates if he was found to be wrongfully restrained, was set at $50,000.
A lawyer for Hall and a rep for Oates didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
