A mandate imposed on contract relations by law (even if echoed by company policy) is often different in considering the employee/contractor distinction than what not imposed by law.
Additionally, New York law is not California law, and 1099 vs W-2 distinction is a federal tax law distinction, which is distinct from California, New York, or even federal labor law employee/contractor distinctions (though some of the factors that are relevant may be similar between those different sources of law.)

There is no court ruling, its an administrative ruling that is being appealed to a court.
