The ongoing legal dispute between Daryl Hall and John Oates has reached a quiet resolution. The two had entered arbitration following Oates’ attempt to sell his share in their partnership, known as Hall and Oates, despite Hall’s strong objections against the move.

A new status report was submitted on Monday after the presiding judge requested an update, as reported by Rolling Stone. The document did not disclose any specifics regarding the terms of the new agreement or the official conclusion of their arbitration proceedings.

“The claims have been adjudicated in arbitration,” Hall’s legal team stated in the status report submitted in a Nashville court. “With the final judgment entered in arbitration, the plaintiffs will be contemporaneously filing a notice of voluntary dismissal with the court.”

This marks the first official filing from either party since their abrupt and very public split in 2023. When asked by The Times of London earlier this year about the future of Hall and Oates, Hall famously responded: “That ship has gone to the bottom of the ocean.” Oates echoed this sentiment, stating, “As far as I’m concerned, I’ve moved on,” in an interview with Rolling Stone. “I feel like I have a new lease on my creative life.”

Both artists have since pursued solo careers, releasing new music independently. Hall launched an album titled D in 2024, collaborating once again with producer Dave Stewart, known for their work together on the 1986 album Three Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine. Oates is set to follow his 2024 release Reunion with a new album titled Oates, which is scheduled for release on August 29.

What Factors Contributed to the Split Between Hall and Oates?

The partnership, formally known as Whole Oats Enterprises, manages the royalty income, personal name and likeness rights, trademarks, as well as the social media and website properties associated with Hall and Oates. According to court documents, Oates aimed to sell his portion to Primary Wave, but Hall expressed his disagreement with the business model of the company.

“I felt blindsided,” Hall articulated in his initial court filing. “I have no intention of becoming partners with Primary Wave, and the Oates Trust cannot be allowed to impose a new partner on me in such an outrageous manner.”

In his own court filing, Oates expressed his disappointment, stating that he was “tremendously disappointed” by Hall’s “inflammatory, outlandish, and inaccurate statements” regarding their situation.
