As the majority acknowledges, section 17203 “grants the court the power to make orders necessary to prevent the use of unfair business practices.” (Maj. opn., ante, at p. 129.) Specifically, section 17203 expressly authorizes courts to “make such orders or judgments ... as may be necessary to prevent the use or employment by any person of any practice which constitutes unfair competition, as defined in [the UCL], 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.” In my view, this language plainly authorizes the trial court’s order in two ways— both as “necessary to prevent the use or employment” of unfair competition and as “necessary to restore to . . . person[s] in interest . . . money . . . which [defendants] . . . acquired by” unfair competition.
