“"Bad. faith" is not simply bad judgment or negligence, rather it implies the conscious doing of a wrong because of dishonest purpose or moral obliquity. It is different from the negative idea of negli-genee in that it contemplates a state of mind affirmatively operating with furtive design or ill will.”
