Home Dictionary Name: improperImproper legal advice and wrong legal advice
Improper legal advice and wrong legal advice, Giving of improper legal advice is different from giving of wrong legal advice. While the former may amount to professional misconduct, the latter may not be so. It is against professional etiquette for a lawyer to give improper legal advice with an ulterior object. It is unworthy that an advocate should accept employment with such motive, or so long as his client has such understanding of his purpose. It is professionally improper for a member of the bar to prepare false documents or to draw pleadings knowingly that the allegations made are untrue of his knowledge, Pandurang Dattatraya Khandekar v. Bar Council of Maharashtra, AIR 1984 SC 110: (1984) 1 SCR 414: (1984) 2 SCC 556....

Malice
Malice [fr. malitia, Lat.], a formed design of doing mischief to another, technically called malitia pr'cogitata, or malice prepense or aforethought. It is either express, as when one with a sedate and deliberate mind and formed design kills another, which formed design is evidenced by certain circumstances discovering such intentions, as lying in wait, antecedent menaces, former grudges, and concerted schemes to do him some bodily harm; or implied, as where one wilfully poisons another; in such a deliberate act the law presumes malice, though no particular enmity can be proved. The nature of implied malice is also illustrated by the maxim, 'Culpa lata dolo 'quiparatur'-when negligence reaches a certain point it is the same as intentional wrong-'Every one must be taken to intend that which his the natural consequence of his actions'-if any one acts in exactly the same way as he would do it he bore express malice to another, he cannot be allowed to say he does not, 4 Steph.
