Double Or Treble Damages
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Double or treble damages are given in some cases, by particular statutes; see, e.g., 2 Wm. & M. sess. 1, c. 5, ss. 4 and 5, which gave double and treble damages for pound breach and wrongful sale upon a distress respectively, but at common law the damages are always single. They are not reckoned in the same manner as double and treble costs, but arithmetically.
Definitions are for legal research. Always verify meaning in the context of the statute, judgment, or jurisdiction cited.
