“Malafide” a Latin word is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another. It is associated with hypocrisy, breach of contract, affectation, and lip service. Black's Law Dictionary equates fraud with bad faith. The Duhaime online law dictionary similarly defines bad faith broadly as "intent to deceive", and "a person who intentionally tries to deceive or mislead another in order to gain some advantage"6. Similarly word “Ulterior Motive” has been defined as “an alternative or extrinsic reason for doing something, especially when concealed or when differing from the stated or apparent reason.”
