None of the majority's cited statutes mentions the UCL or otherwise supports any narrowing of section 17203. In fact, we long ago construed the relevant language contrary to the majority's implication. (See, e.g., Children's Television, supra, 35 Cal.3d at p. 211, 197 Cal.Rptr. 783, 673 P.2d 660 [if necessary for deterrence under § 17203 or 17535, a "court may also order restitution without individualized proof of ... injury"].) Business and Professions Code sections 17535 and 19214 and Public Resources Code section 25966 use broad remedial language substantially identical to that used in section 17203, but do not contain any qualifying language or provision supporting a narrow construction of that language, let alone the particular narrow construction at which the majority hints. Code of Civil Procedure sections 873.810 (partition of real property) and 1235.125 (defining "interest" in property as "right, title, or estate") each use the word "interest," but neither contains anything *509 that suggests the Legislature meant to refer to interests outside those specialized statutory schemes. Code of Civil Procedure section 1235.125, in fact, is qualified expressly by a proviso that, unless the provision or context otherwise requires, "these definitions govern the construction of this title" (Code Civ. Proc., § 1235.110), i.e., the eminent domain law.
