The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed a district court’s dismissal of a former employee’s nonindividual Private Attorneys General Act claims against Lowe’s, determining that a recent California Supreme Court decision corrected a U.S. Supreme Court decision the lower court relied on.

Uber Technologies, which was decided while the present case was on appeal.
