Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

If a magistrate obtains a legal qualification or was previously legally qualified, or if an academic is a solicitor or member of the Bar, or if someone in the commercial sector has a legal qualification, would they after a certain number of years’ service in those three areas of work be eligible—if they were suitably competent and passed the other merit tests—to be appointed to the bench?
