Talk:Malice (disambiguation)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I made a revert to the page, as there was information inserted by User:Hmc3590 which didn't fit into a disambig page, it's copied pasted here. Maybe someone could put it into the Malice (legal term) article. - Hahnchen 05:57, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

English case law referring is Dunlop; Bourgoin SA; Jones v Swansea City Council and Elguzouli-Daf v Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis [1995] 2 QB 335 at 346-347 per Steyn LJ. In this case the UK High Court found that malice could be made out if the act were done with an actual intention to cause injury. Malice could be shown if the act were done in the knowledge of invalidity or lack of power and with knowledge that it would cause or be likely to cause injury. Malice would also exist if the act were done with reckless indifference or deliberate blindness to that invalidity or lack of power and that likely injury. These elements, with respect, are consistent with the views of the majority albeit that some of those views were expressed tentatively having regard to the basis upon which the case before them was presented.
