Select Portfolio Services, Inc., 246 Cal.App.4th 1150, 1188 (2016) (citing People v. JTH Tax, Inc., 212 Cal.App.4th 1219, 1242 (2013); People v. Bestline Products, Inc., 61 Cal.App.3d 879, 918-19 (1976)).
This blog's discussion of People v. JTH Tax, Inc. is available at this link. People v. Bestline Products was a little before the blog's time, but see this post for a discussion of more recent decisions on aiding and abetting liability under UCL.
