Section 815. Judgment in action for waste against tenant of particular estate  


Latest version.
  • If the plaintiff recovers in an action for waste, other than an
      action brought as prescribed in section 817,  the  final  judgment  must
      award  to  him  compensatory damages. Where the action is brought by the
      person next entitled to the reversion and it appears,  in  like  manner,
      that  the injury to the estate in reversion is equal to the value of the
      tenant's estate or unexpired term, the final judgment must also award to
      the  plaintiff  the  forfeiture  of  the  defendant's  estate  and   the
      possession of the place wasted.
