Treble Damages in New Hampshire

Under New Hampshire’s Consumer Protection Act, treble damages can reach up to three times the actual loss, but only for willful or knowing violations, and the court has discretion to award two or three times the amount. The statute, N.H. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 358-A:10, authorizes a judge to multiply the proven damages by either two or three when the defendant acted intentionally or with knowledge of the unlawful conduct. The law sets out factors the court considers in deciding the multiplier, and the official source provides the exact text. The worked example below shows how the calculation applies. To estimate a result for a specific case, use the DocketMath calculator.
