"Bona fides" means, "in good faith." An act is said to be bona fide if it was committed with a good honest intention as opposed to a dishonest (mala fide/bad faith) one.
Illustration:- Client A bona fide engages Attorney B with respect to filing of pleading on behalf of A. B knew that the pleading will not stand in the court, however B takes advantage of A's ignorance of the law, misleads A and mala fide files the pleading towards charging A a hefty fee.
Bona fides has come to be used interchangeably with "good faith." Back.
