I note, since I spent a happy couple of hours yesterday in Sub-Committee E discussing the Court of First Instance in Luxembourg, that European practice admits a wide variety of backgrounds to the degree of judge sufficient to get on to that court. There are economists and accountants—people without proper legal background whatsoever. I am not suggesting that we go that far. Perhaps admitting people who have experience other than purely legal experience, particularly to the tribunal level, is only a good thing.
