Section 28(4)(a) CLA 1956 gives the landlord an option to claim double rent or double value; because the right is not mandatory but elective it constitutes a distinct chose in action/remedy which must be specifically pleaded in the statement of claim under the rules of pleadings; a general prayer for damages for trespass is insufficient to invoke the double rent/double value remedy, and the court may not grant such unpleaded relief.
