Antitrust law

a remedy letting a successful private antitrust plaintiff recover three times its proven loss, to deter violations.

In United States antitrust law, treble damages are a remedy by which a successful private plaintiff recovers three times its proven loss, a multiplier written into the Clayton Act to deter violations and to reward private enforcement. Hovenkamp's Treble damages reform examines the rule's incentive effects and proposals to temper it. The referent is a statutory damages multiplier, unrelated to a musical register or a bell beyond the word's root meaning of threefold.[1]

Unit
A court award equal to three times actual damages
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Computed as three times the plaintiff's proven single damages
