As we recently reaffirmed, under the UCL "as construed by this court and the Courts of Appeal, `a private plaintiff who has himself suffered no injury at all may sue to obtain relief for others.'" (Stop Youth Addiction, supra, 17 Cal.4th at p. 561, 71 Cal.Rptr.2d 731, 950 P.2d 1086.) In my view, the UCL is clear and unambiguous in authorizing "any person" (§ 17204) to seek UCL remedies benefiting others, including any "orders or judgments ... as may be necessary" (§ 17203) to deter unfair competition or restore its proceeds to interested persons. The trial court's order in this case falls well within the plain language of these statutes. As the "plain language of the statute establishes what was intended by the Legislature," further judicial construction is not necessary to decide the case, and we "should not indulge in it." (People v. Fuhrman (1997) 16 Cal.4th 930, 937, 67 Cal.Rptr.2d 1, 941 P.2d 1189.) Legislative history
