California Court of Appeal

In a case where an individual brought an action on behalf of himself and others under the Unfair Competition Law and the Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act, the UCL requires that a representative claim be brought as a class action because the UCL requires compliance with the class action provisions of Code of Civil Procedure section 382, and the PAGA expressly allows a person to prosecute a representative claim without requiring that it be brought as a class action.
