Cal. Civ. Code § 1721 — OBLIGATIONS IMPOSED BY LAW is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.

In an action for the intentional and malicious destruction of real or personal property at a site where substantial improvements to real property are under construction, upon judgment in favor of the plaintiff, the court may, in its discretion, award the plaintiff an amount not to exceed three times the amount of actual damages, and may award reasonable attorney’s fees.
