Chancellor Russell T. Perkins yesterday filed a temporary injunction against musician John Oates, who is trying to sell his shares of Whole Oats Enterprises to third party publisher Primary Wave Music. Daryl Hall, the other half of the music duo Hall & Oates, filed a lawsuit in Davidson County Chancery Court on Nov. 16, alleging the sale violates a business agreement between the musicians. The Tennessean reports that the injunction blocks the sale until a private arbitrator hired to weigh in on the dispute decides whether a restraining order in the arbitration is appropriate, or until Feb. 17, 2024, at 1 p.m. CST, whichever comes first.
