malice

[AbdurRahim]

Malice:
The word “malice” is a very slippery word, and its use in legal parlance is , at times , ambiguous .
The term malice is used in two quite different senses in the law of tort:
(1) In its ordinary sense, it means ill-will, spit or hatred. Such malice is called express malice or actual malice or malice in fact.
(2)Legal malice or malice in law , means any wrongful act done intentionally without just cause or excuse as was observed by bayley ,j. in bromage v. prosser (1825) 4 B.C. 247, “malice, in common acceptance ,means ill-will against a person , but in its legal sense , it means a wrongful act done intentionally , without just cause or excuse.
