"Mala fides" means, "in bad faith." An act is said to be mala fides if it was committed with the intention of deceptive as opposed to honest (bona fides/good faith) obtainment of something
Illustration:- Advocate A engaged by client B is involved in mala fide filing of pleading on behalf of B if the pleading is an abuse of the law by not being filed in good faith or contrary to the spirit of the law that was applicable over there.
Mala fides has come to be used interchangeably with "bad faith." Back.
