So maybe some but not others were surprised by the news that the pair is embroiled in a legal battle, one that led Hall to obtain a temporary restraining order against his now-former music partner. A judge has sealed a lawsuit that Hall filed last week in Nashville, where Oates lives, according to multiple news outlets.
