A California appeals court granted an emergency stay to Uber
Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. Thursday, pausing a ruling that
required the ride-hailing companies to reclassify their drivers as
employees by Friday.
The reprieve means both companies can continue operating in the
state while their appeal is considered. Both companies had said
they would be forced to suspend operations in California if a stay
wasn't granted.
Lyft said earlier Thursday it would halt its business there as
of midnight, anticipating that it wouldn't get more time. The
company confirmed it no longer plans to halt its ride-hailing
service in the state.
