Opinion
ARMSTRONG, J.
In this mandamus proceeding, we hold that where a private plaintiff which has itself suffered no injury files a representative action under California’s unfair competition law (UCL) (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200 et seq.) alleging that certain of defendant’s contractual provisions subject its customers to an “unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business . . . practice” and the contract contains a forum selection provision, the plaintiff is bound by that provision just as defendant’s customers would be bound had they filed the action themselves.
