AGGRAVATION
(bouvier) | AGGRAVATION, in pleading. The introduction of matter into the declaration
which tends to increase the amount of damages, but does not affect the right
of action itself. Steph. Pl. 257; 12 Mod. 597. See 3 An. Jur. 287, 313. An
example of this is found in the case where a plaintiff declares in trespass
for entering his house, and breaking his close, and tossing his goods about;
the entry of the house is the principal ground and foundation of the
action, and the rest is only stated by way of aggravation; 3 Wils. R. 294;
and this matter need not be proved by the plaintiff or answered by the
defendant.
