Case Summary

p1606 Where plaintiffs settled an Unfair Competition Law (UCL) suit on the issue of damages to allow the case to proceed on the merits of injunctive relief, Proposition 64, which passed during the pendency of the suit and amended Business and Professions Code § § 17203 and 17204 to require actual injury to bring UCL suits, could not be applied retroactively because doing so would impair the settled rights and expectations.
