Refusing to ban Uber's low-cost service UberPop, an appeals court in Paris has said that the firm could continue to operate it until a constitutional court ruled on a new law governing chauffeur licenses.
The constitutional court is expected to give a verdict in June and the appeals court will reconvene in September, reported The Verge.
UberPop has been embroiled in a legal tussle in France since last year when a Paris court decided not to ban the service and refused to rule on its legality. However, days later, France's Interior Ministry termed the service "illegal" under the so-called Thevenoud Law, which went into effect on January 1 and required all chauffeurs to hold professional licenses and insurance.
Uber has faced a series of setbacks as it is expanding to new markets across the globe, with many governments raising concerns over its regulation and safety practices.
