UCL 17200 is California’s unfair competition law prohibiting unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business practices. It provides a remedy in the form of injunctions, restitution, and damages. The claim can be brought by a business or individual harmed by such practices, often involving advertising claims, misrepresentation, or deceptive conduct.
Timeline varies depending on complexity. Some matters resolve in months, while others require comprehensive discovery and motion practice. Early relief motions can affect pace.
Remedies include injunctions to stop the conduct, restitution for losses, disgorgement of profits, and, where allowed, attorneys’ fees. Courts consider the nature of the violation and the harm shown.
