That the Legislature did not in terms discuss “disgorgement to absent parties” or use the words “fluid recovery” or “cy pres restitution” when enacting section 17203 (or in 1972, when amending § 17535), opting instead for a general description encompassing “such orders ... as may be necessary” to deter or restore the fruits of unfair competition, does not imply it meant to deprive courts of these established powers. To the contrary, when a legislative body “entrusts to an equity court the enforcement of prohibitions contained in a regulatory enactment, it must be taken to have acted cognizant of the historic power of equity to provide complete relief in light of the statutory purposes.” (Mitchell v. DeMario Jewelry (1960) 361 U.S. 288, 291-292 [80 S.Ct. 332, 335, 4 L.Ed.2d 323].)
