Quite recently, we reaffirmed our general understanding that "`"[t]he laws against unfair business practices were drafted in large part to prevent a wrongdoer from retaining the benefits of its illegal acts."'" (Stop Youth Addiction, supra, 17 Cal.4th at p. 575, fn. 11, 71 Cal.Rptr.2d *515 731, 950 P.2d 1086, quoting ABC, supra, 14 Cal.4th at p. 1270, 61 Cal.Rptr.2d 112, 931 P.2d 290.) The "general equity power" that the majority acknowledges is preserved by sections 17203 and 17535 has always included a "full range of ... inherent powers ... to accomplish complete justice between the parties, restoring if necessary the status quo ante as nearly as may be achieved" (Jayhill, supra, 9 Cal.3d at p. 286, 107 Cal.Rptr. 192, 507 P.2d 1400).
