Plaintiffs have directed us to nothing, and we have found nothing, in the legislative history of sections 17203 and 17535 to suggest that the Legislature intended to authorize fluid recovery in representative UCL actions when it made the power to order restitution statutory. As we observed in Fletcher, supra, 23 Cal.3d at page 453, footnote 6, and in Jayhill, supra, 9 Cal.3d at page 287, footnote 1, the Legislature added express power to order restitution to section 17535 only to clarify the law, not to create new authority. Section 17203 simply tracked the language of section 17535. In both of those sections the Legislature confirmed, but did not increase, the powers of the court in a UCL action.
