In Rufini v. CitiMortgage, Inc., ___ Cal.App.4th ___ (May 28, 2014; pub. ord. Jun. 23, 2014; mod. Jul. 22, 2014), the Court of Appeal (First Appellate District, Division Three) held that the trial court improperly sustained the defendant's demurrer to a UCL claim arising out of the alleged wrongful foreclosure of the deed of trust on plaintiff's home. 

There's nothing particularly earth-shattering in the discussion of the UCL claim, which appears at pp. 11-13 of the slip opinion.
