A judge has sided with singer Daryl Hall in his request to keep John Oates temporarily blocked from selling his share of the Hall and Oates duo’s joint venture without his musical partner’s permission.

Chancellor Russell Perkins in Nashville extended his pause on the sale of Oates’ share of Whole Oats Enterprises LLP to Primary Wave IP Investment Management LLC while the music duo moves through the early stages of arbitration.
