Abstract

This Comment will discuss the problems underlying California's Unfair Competition Law that eventually led to the adoption of Proposition 64. It will also assess the Proposition's method of addressing those problems, which arose due to the UCL's broad standing provision and lack of res judicata effect. Additionally, this Comment will look at outstanding issues not remedied by the recent amendments to 17200, as well as review recent judicial decisions and evaluate their success at clarifying a law that one California Supreme Court Justice has dubbed a "growth industry."
