In our ensuing discussion of the UCL, when we refer to orders for restitution, we mean orders compelling a UCL defendant to return money *127obtained through an unfair business practice to those persons in interest from whom the property was taken, that is, to persons who had an ownership interest in the property or those claiming through that person.11 An order that a defendant disgorge money obtained through an unfair business practice may include a restitutionary element, but is not so limited. As in this case, such orders may compel a defendant to surrender all money obtained through an unfair business practice even though not all is to be restored to the persons from whom it was obtained or those claiming under those persons. It has also been used to refer to surrender of all profits earned as a result of an unfair business practice regardless of whether those profits represent money taken directly from persons who were victims of the unfair practice.
