Daryl Hall Gets Restraining Order Against John Oates in Secretive Legal Battle
Rolling Stone link: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/daryl-hall-sues-john-oates-restraining-order-1234894042/
Daryl Hall has taken out a restraining order against his longtime musical partner, John Oates, in a mysterious legal dispute playing out in Nashville. It’s unclear what the dispute is actually about, as the court documents are sealed. The case summary on the Nashville Chancery Court website classifies it as a “Contract/Debt” dispute. Hall filed the initial complaint back on Nov. 16 (with Nashville journalist Nate Rau one of the first to pick up on it).
Along with filing the complaint, Hall filed a motion for a temporary restraining order (as well as motions to keep all the docs under seal). On Nov. 17, a restraining bond was set at $50,000, and the restraining order itself was issued. There’ve been no further updates since then. Along with Oates, summonses were issued for his wife, Aimee, as well as a man named Richard Flynn, both listed as co-trustees of the John W. Oates TISA Trust.
A lawyer for Hall and a rep for Oates did not immediately return Rolling Stone’s requests for comment.
With the exact nature of the dispute unclear, speculation has largely centered around comments Hall and Oates have recently made about their relationship in the press. Last year, for instance, Hall appeared on Bill Maher’s podcast, where he pointedly referred to Oates as “my business partner… not my creative partner.”
