Injunctive Relief--Court Orders
   Any person who engages, has engaged, or proposes to engage in
unfair competition may be enjoined in any court of competent
jurisdiction.  The court may make such orders or judgments, including
the appointment of a receiver, as may be necessary to prevent the
use or employment by any person of any practice which constitutes
unfair competition, as defined in this chapter, or as may be
necessary to restore to any person in interest any money or property,
real or personal, which may have been acquired by means of such
unfair competition.  Any person may pursue representative claims or
relief on behalf of others only if the claimant meets the standing
requirements of Section 17204 and complies with Section 382 of the
Code of Civil Procedure, but these limitations do not apply to claims
brought under this chapter by the Attorney General, or any district
attorney, county counsel, city attorney, or city prosecutor in this
state.
