35 Cal. 3d 582, 593 (1984), the court held that “[a]s it is unlawful to engage in any of the deceptive business practices enumerated in section 1770, consumers have a corresponding legal right not to be subjected thereto. Accordingly, we interpret broadly the requirement of section 1780 that a consumer ‘ suffer[] any damage’ to include the infringement of any legal right as defined by section 1770” (footnote omitted). Finally, we note that other courts, interpreting a range of statutes, have accepted the Restatement’s construction of the term injury as “the invasion of any legally protected interest.” See Rosnick v. Marks, 218 Neb. 499, 504-505 (1984); Roth v. Cottrell, 112 Cal. App. 2d 621, 624-625 (1952); Fox v. Industrial Comm’n, 162 Ohio St. 569, 575 (1955).
