UCL 17200 protects consumers and businesses from unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent practices. The statute allows courts to stop ongoing conduct and award damages.
A UCL claim may be one part of a broader business dispute, and a tailored approach helps align remedies with your goals.
Under California law, UCL 17200 provides broad authority to prevent and remedy unfair competition, including false advertising, unlawful business acts, and consumer confusion.
Core elements typically include proving an unlawful or unfair act, causation, and harm. The process involves investigation, pleadings, discovery, and, when appropriate, trial or settlement.
From false advertising to misappropriation, this glossary clarifies terms you may encounter in a UCL case.
Unfair competition refers to business practices that deceive, mislead, or cause confusion with a competitor’s goods or services.
