Hall's suit against Oates has ended in arbitration, per Rolling Stone, meaning there are no details on how the matter actually resolved, or what the terms of the voluntary dismissal were. Hall had first sued his longtime songwriting partner in November 2023 over Oates' intent to sell his half of their joint venture Whole Oates Enterprises to the music company Primary Wave. As Rolling Stone reported at the time, Hall called Oates' intent to sell his half the "ultimate partnership betrayal."

At the time, a judge ruled to temporarily block any such sale while the matter was being resolved. Attorneys for both Hall and Oates didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Hall & Oates formed one of the most formidable duos of their generation, making hits like "Rich Girl," "Kiss On My List" and "Maneater," among others. The dispute served as their demise, with Oates telling Rolling Stone last year that "we have a different strategy for our lives, and we have a different strategy for our business lives as well as our personal lives." Hall apparently agrees, telling The Times in February, "That ship has gone to the bottom of the ocean." It's unclear whether the development means Oates can sell to Primary Wave. Reps for the company didn't respond to a request for comment. Primary Wave is one of the most active companies in the catalog acquisition space, having previously made deals with the likes of Stevie Nicks, the estate of Biggie Smalls and, most recently, original Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green, among many others.
