The claim for double rental or double value under s28(4)(a) of the Civil Law Act 1956 is an optional cause of action that must be specifically pleaded and prayed for; a general claim for damages and compensation for trespass does not suffice to put defendants on notice of an election to claim double rent/double value, and the court has no jurisdiction to award it absent such specific pleading.
