Proposition 64 effected the most sweeping change in Section 17200 practice in over 40 years; and in 2009, the California Supreme Court decided In re Tobacco II Cases, the most significant §17200 case in a decade. Now, the appellate and trial courts are trying to figure out what it all means. This program will dissect Prop. 64, provide a comprehensive update on §17200 practice, identify the "hot issues," and focus on answering tomorrow's questions:

• How have Tobacco II Cases and its progeny altered §17200 practice?
• How to establish standing?
• What does Prop. 64's "reliance" requirement mean, and how is it satisfied?
• What do the "injury in fact" and "loss of money or property" standards mean?
• What test of "unfair" applies in consumer cases?
• What kinds of losses qualify for "restitution" or injunction?
• Have "omissions" cases changed under the Prop. 64 standard?
• Can §17200 be used in insurance bad faith cases?
• Did Prop. 64 narrow competitor cases?
• What must be shown to get a UCL class certified?
• What are the remedies available for consumer injuries?
• Pros and cons of federal vs. state court
• What are the principal defenses?

Whether you represent plaintiffs or defendants, businesses or consumers, you need to know about the UCL's extraordinary reach and how it has been affected by Tobacco II Cases and the decisions that followed on its heels. You'll hear it first-hand from our expert panelists: the principal author of Proposition 64, the author of the leading blog The UCL Practitioner, and our moderator, Justice Croskey.
