The Inquisitorial system is primarily used in countries with civil law legal systems, such as France, Italy, and Germany. It is characterized by judges taking an active role in investigating and determining the facts of a case.
In a civil law system, the primary source of law is typically written statutes and codes enacted by legislative bodies. These laws establish the legal rules and principles that govern society, and courts interpret and apply them to resolve disputes. Precedent and judicial decisions are of secondary importance in civil law systems compared to common law systems.
Common law is a legal system derived from judicial decisions and precedent, where courts interpret and apply the law. Roman law, on the other hand, was a legal system developed in ancient Rome based on written statutes and codes. Common law relies heavily on precedent, while Roman law emphasized codification and abstract legal principles.
A legal system that relies on extensive codes without judicial decisions creating law is known as a civil law legal system. In this system, laws are primarily derived from written statutes and codes rather than judicial decisions.
Equity law is a system of law that developed in England to provide remedies that were not available under common law. It developed in the Court of Chancery, which was separate from the common law courts, to address situations where the strict application of common law rules led to injustice. Equity law is based on principles of fairness, justice, and conscience.
The Inquisitorial system is primarily used in countries with civil law legal systems, such as France, Italy, and Germany. It is characterized by judges taking an active role in investigating and determining the facts of a case.
The adversarial system is a legal system where two opposing parties present their case before an impartial judge or jury. In the inquisitorial system, the judge plays a more active role in investigating and presenting evidence to reach a verdict. The adversarial system is more common in common law countries like the United States, while the inquisitorial system is found in civil law countries like France and Germany.
Common law originated in and was developed in England as the head of the British Empire. It is based on doctrines established in court decisions (precedent) rather than on any written legal code, though statute is paramount and supreme to this 'common law'. This system is opposed to that originating from the Roman Empire called the Civil law system. This civil system is based on an inquisitorial system of law, whereas the common law system of British heritage is based on the adversarial system of law.
Italy has a Civil system of law derived from the Roman Empire, as opposed to the common law system which is derived from Britain. There are very subtle differences, but differences nonetheless. Such differences include, Character evidence is admissible in Civil law systems ( not in common lay sys.), and the judge has an inquisitorial role in finding the facts of the matter.
The adversarial system is inherently a trait of the common law system of England. Australia is member of the Commonwealth and was settled by the British Empire. When this occurred Australia automatically inherited British law under the doctrine of reception. So, to answer the question, the adversarial system has been used in Australia since British settlement in 1788. This is opposed to the inquisitorial system arising from Roman law and ancestry.

In the past, Fiji uses the British law and system not until 1970 when Fiji got Independant.
First off, the legal systems that exist in nation states derived from British heritage are completely different to that of the roman empire. The roman empire had what is known as an inquisitorial system of justice where by the judge is not used as primarily a third independent party. The judge in this system asks questions and oral testimonies are relied upon rather than written documents as in the British System. This inquisitorial system still exists in many European nations such as France. The British system is the Adversarial System or common law system where the courts are used to create common law based on precedent. Unlike the other system, the laws in these courts are not 'codified' and turned to legislation rather they act as precedent as to allow judges to rule on matters before them in the future.
Romania, like most countries, uses the SI system of measurement.
