UBER, the up-and-coming ride-sharing service that has major aspirations for thousands of future franchises as well as its first IPO has encountered a legal snag to its ambitions in the State of Nevada, of all places.
As of December 1st, 2014, UBER has temporarily suspended its business operations in Nevada, after a local court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting its commercial operations statewide.
The district court judge issued the restraining order against UBER after a case was filed to restrain its commercial activities on November 24th, 2014. UBER arrived in Nevada on October 24th, 2014, and immediately faced problems with the Nevada Taxicab and Transportation Authority from the very beginning. In its first 30 or so days of operation in Nevada, it was reported that at least 50 UBER-related cars were impounded.
The Transportation Authority and other opposition argue that UBER must follow the same guidelines and restrictions as "other taxi companies."
