A:  

A West Palm Beach malicious prosecution lawyer will advice a plaintiff that there are two kinds, of malice, either of which may satisfy this element of malicious prosecution:

• Actual or subjective malice, sometimes called "malice in fact, which results in intentional wrongdoing;" and
• "Legal malice," which may be inferred from the circumstances, such as the want of probable cause even though actual malice or corrupt design is not shown.
