How to run Treble Damages in DocketMath for New Hampshire

US-NH treble damages rules

This source-backed guide covers US-NH treble damages authority (N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 358-A:10 (Consumer Protection Act — discretionary 2x to 3x for willful/knowing violations)). It explains how to read the calculator's multiplier output and points to the controlling US-NH multiplier statutes.

What the output means

Run this scenario in DocketMath using the Treble Damages calculator.

When the calculator shows a multiplier result, read it as a statutory multiplier on the base damages figure, not as a separate damages category.

• Base damages stay the same until the multiplier is applied.
• The statutory multiplier changes the total by the rule-specified factor.
• Any cap, exception, or carve-out still controls if the statute says it does.

US-NH rule notes

Statutory multiplier

N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 358-A:10 (Consumer Protection Act — discretionary 2x to 3x for willful/knowing violations) governs the treble (multiple) damages rule for US-NH.

N.H.. I. Any person injured by another's use of any method, act or practice declared unlawful under this chapter may bring an action for damages and for such equitable relief, including an injunction, as the court deems necessary and proper. If the court finds for the plaintiff, recovery shall be in the amount of actual damages or $1,000, whichever is greater. If the court finds that the use of the method of competition or the act or practice was a willful or knowing violation of this chapter, it shall award as much as 3 times, but not less than 2 times, such amount. In addition, a prevailing plaint

What changes the result most

• The base damages input, because the multiplier applies to that number.
• The statutory multiplier itself, because 2x, 3x, and 4x produce different totals.
• Any cap or carve-out in the statute, because it can limit the multiplied amount.
