TREBLE COSTS
(bouvier) | TREBLE COSTS, remedies. By treble costs, in the English law, is understood,
1st. The usual taxed costs. 2d. Half thereof. 3d. Half the latter; so that
in effect the treble costs amount only to the taxed costs, and three-fourths
thereof. 1 Chitty, R. 137; 1 Chitt. Pract. 27.
2. Treble costs are sometimes given by statutes, and this is the
construction put upon them.
3. In Pennsylvania the rule is different; when an act of assembly gives
treble costs, the party is allowed three times the usual costs, with the
exception, that the fees of the officers are not to be trebled, when they
are not regularly or usually payable by the defendant. 2 Rawle, R. 201.
4. And in New York the directions of the statute are to be strictly
pursued, and the costs are to be trebled. 2 Dunl. Pr. 731.
