More details have emerged in the spat between pop duo Hall & Oates, after Daryl Hall filed a lawsuit and restraining order against John Oates last week.

The initial lawsuit was sealed, and only scant details were revealed days later, showing that it concerned a dispute over Oates's reported plan to sell his share of the pair's publishing to Primary Wave Music, the company that has acquired numerous song catalogues in recent years by artists including Prince, Stevie Nicks, Burt Bacharach and many more.
