Opinion
HANING, J.
Plaintiffs/appellants Milton Wise, Leroy Williams, Yvonne Williams and Gwen Wise, individually and on behalf of the general public, appeal the dismissal of their action against defendant/respondent Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) for unfair business practices (Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 17200 et seq., 17500), violation of Public Utilities Code section 2106, and fraud, after PG&E’s demurrer was sustained without leave to amend. Appellants contend the trial court erroneously ruled the action lies within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).
