Yes. And we havent even talked about lawsuits involving causes of action for "unfair competition."
In California (where I have been licensed for 20 yrs), if your competitor is somehow violating a statue or regulation, and this is costing your company money to compete, you can bring a claim against them for unfair competition for not following the law. And attorney's fees may be awarded.
A legit company can literally drive their competition out of business.

Years ago I used this law to file against hundreds of mass torrent uploaders in a copyright infringement case.
