TREBLE DAMAGES, remedies (law)


TREBLE DAMAGES, remedies. In actions arising ex contractu some statutes give treble damages; and these statutes have been liberally construed to mean treble damages; and these statutes have been liberally construed to mean actually treble damages; for example, if the jury give twenty dollars actually treble damages; for example, if the jury give twenty dollars damages for a forcible entry the court will award forty dollars more, so as damages for a forcible entry the court will award forty dollars more, so as to make the total amount of damages sixty dollars. 4 B.
