Magel was born in Tenby, Wales. After graduating from Haberdashers' Monmouth School for Girls and studying law at the University of Leeds, she was called to the bar at Inner Temple in 1964. Her practice was from Henderson Chambers, Temple, London.[3]

Magel sat as a part-time chairman of the Industrial Tribunal from 1982, a role which is now an Employment Judge of the Employment Tribunal.[4] She heard one of the first cases involving a major high-street retailer, Argos, being taken to the tribunal by disaffected staff and became noted for her firm handling of the dispute.[5]

Magel took up full-time judgeship in the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court in 1988 until her retirement in 2000.[6] She died in 2008.[7]
