UCL 17200 prohibits unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practices. It provides flexible remedies to address a wide range of unfair activity.
A successful claim typically requires showing a business practice, the unfair nature of that practice, and its impact on competition and consumers.
Under California law, the UCL is a broad civil remedy aimed at curbing deceptive, unlawful, or unfair business methods that harm competitors and the public.
Typical elements include a qualifying business practice, unlawfulness or unfairness, and proof of resulting harm. The process usually begins with a complaint, followed by investigation, negotiation, and, if needed, litigation or injunctive relief.
