Daryl Hall and John Oates have resolved their dispute over Oates’ plan to sell his half of their joint venture to Primary Wave Music.

The duo has privately resolved the issue in arbitration without any additional information on their deal.

“The claims have been adjudicated in arbitration,” Hall’s attorneys wrote in a status report, filed in Nashville court, as per Rolling Stone. “Given the entry of final judgment in arbitration, plaintiffs will be contemporaneously filing a notice of voluntary dismissal with the court.”

The pair started litigation in 2023 when Hall launched arbitration seeking to block Oates from selling his stake in Whole Oats Enterprises, which includes the Hall & Oates name and likeness rights as well as royalties, to Primary Wave.

Since the bitter dispute, both Hall and Oates have confirmed that a reunion between the two will never happen. Hall said in March this year, “That ship has gone to the bottom of the ocean.”
