Supreme Court of Idaho.

April 18, 1974.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

W. Anthony Park, Atty. Gen., Wayne V. Meuleman, Deputy Atty. Gen., Boise, amicus curiae.

Harold L. Ryan, Ryan & Sweet, Weiser, for defendant-appellee.

DONALDSON, Justice.

The Court is asked to decide whether I.C. § 45-615(4) requires that treble damages be awarded to any successful plaintiff in a suit for wages wrongfully withheld, even without a showing that the person who withheld the wages acted with malice, wantonness, fraud or oppression. For reasons that will be discussed, we have concluded that treble damages must be awarded whenever it is proved that wages have been wrongfully withheld.
