Under California law, a plaintiff may pursue a UCL claim when a business practice violates a statute, is unfair in the marketplace, or is deceptive to consumers or competitors. The statute provides broad remedies to stop the conduct and redress harm.
A successful UCL claim typically requires showing a violation of law, a causal connection to the harm, and resulting injury to the plaintiff, followed by an appropriate remedy or injunction.
