Thread: Discharge Without Conviction

Every system has an error rate... pros and cons...

I quite like the inquisitorial systems that have the court as agent of the state seeking to establish what happened rather than the adversarial approach that we have have, but I haven't ever done any comparative research on the 2 systems.

The competence issue is better dealt with in other systems, but the impartiality aspects have more questions about them. The adversarial system also has the appearance of robust challenge of the powerful state which doesn't happen in inquisitorial systems, but the argument is that the state is not prosecuting it is facilitating an appointed prosecutor and defence, in Inquisitorial systems..

Its sort of hard to know...
