Unfair competition under UCL covers unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent business practices that impact consumers and competitors.
This area of law requires careful evidence gathering and strategic planning to establish violations and seek appropriate remedies.
UCL (Section 17200) prohibits any unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business acts or practices. The statute provides broad authority to address deceptive advertising, misrepresentations, and other forms of impropriety that affect competition.
Typical UCL cases require establishing a lawful baseline, identifying prohibited practices, and showing injury to a business or the public.
