This is a descriptive definition, encompassing the three elements of the common law malice.

The Court stated that the term "actual malice" can confuse as well as enlighten. In this respect the phrase may be an unfortunate one. Id. See also Harte-Hanks Communications v. Connaughton, Inc., 491 U.S.
657, 666 n.7 (1989) ("actual malice" is a confusing term because it has nothing to do with bad motives or ill will). Constitutional malice means publishing a defamatory statement with knowing falsity or reckless disregard of the truth or falsity of the statement. New York lTimes, 376 U.S. at 279-80. Common law malice is defined as hate, spite, or ill will

W obrębie czynów niedozwolonych funkcjonują nadto dwa inne terminy, mianowicie mo>tyw (motive) oraz zła wola, złośliwość (malice) działania.
. Podobnie pojęcie malice, złej woli pozwanego, złośliwości w jego
działaniu, wyrządzenia szkody bez żadnego usprawiedliwienia ani przyczyny ku temu
, co do zasady nie ma znaczenia dla przypisania odpowiedzialności deliktowej.

common law malice

"Common law malice focuses on the defendant's feelings toward the plaintiff, unlike express malice which concerns the defendant's knowledge of the truth or falsity of a publication
...
"Common-law malice is based on the traditional concept of spite or ill will, while constitutional malice or actual malice refers to publication of false material with knowledge of its falsity, or a high degree of awareness of the falsity."
