A quick definition of mala fides:

Term: mala fides

Definition: Mala fides is a Latin term that means "bad faith." It refers to a situation where someone is acting dishonestly or with ill intent. This could include lying, cheating, or intentionally misleading others. When someone is acting in mala fides, they are not acting in good faith and are not trustworthy. It is important to be aware of mala fides behavior and to avoid engaging in it yourself.

A more thorough explanation:

mala fides

Latin, "bad faith."

Mala fides refers to a situation where someone is acting in bad faith, meaning they are not being honest or sincere in their actions or intentions. This can include lying, cheating, or intentionally misleading others.

1. A car salesman who sells a car to a customer, knowing that the car has a major mechanical issue, is acting in mala fides.

2. A landlord who refuses to make necessary repairs to a rental property, despite promising to do so, is also acting in mala fides.

Both of these examples illustrate how someone can act in bad faith by intentionally deceiving others for their own benefit. In both cases, the person is not being honest or sincere in their actions, which can cause harm to others.
