“treble damages” is actually legal language for triple damages. I only know because my wife is going through something that includes this.......fortunatly we are on “the good side” of it. :)

Treble damages, in United States law, is a term that indicates that a statute permits a court to triple the amount of the actual/compensatory damages to be awarded to a prevailing plaintiff. Treble damages are a multiple of, and not an addition to, actual damages in some instances.
