Daryl Hall Accuses Bandmate John Oates Of ‘Ambushing’ Him Amid Legal Dispute

Daryl Hall has filed a first-person declaration as his legal fight with his Oates & Hall bandmate John Oates continues. 

In the lawsuit, Hall accuses Oates of ambushing him with plans to sell his share of their business venture to a third party.

“This recent bad faith conduct by John Oates and the Oates Trust has created tremendous upheaval, harm, and difficulty in my life, not to mention unnecessary expense and burden, during a time when I am in the middle of a tour throughout the U.S. West Coast, Japan, and Manila and need to focus and perform at top level,” Hall’s filing read. “I believe that John Oates timed the Unauthorized Transaction to create the most harm to me. Respectfully, he must be stopped from this latest wrongdoing and his malicious conduct reined in once and for all.”  

Hall believes that Oates selling his share would violate a business agreement previously reached by the pair in a 2021 agreement. 

Earlier this month, Hall initiated an arbitration process against Oates to prevent his bandmate from transferring all of his rights to Primary Wave Music without Hall’s consent. Hall also filed the suit against Aimee Oates and Richard Flynn, the co-trustees of the John W. Oates TSA Trust.

Oates has not commented on the lawsuit.
