Frederik Christian Stoud Platou

Frederik Christian Stoud Platou (17 February 1811 – 23 June 1891) was a Norwegian legal scholar, Supreme Court justice, district stipendiary magistrate and politician.

He was born in Christiania as a son of educator, professor, politician and State Secretary Ludvig Stoud Platou (1749–1815) and his wife Karen Lumholtz (1785–1833).

He published little; only one noteworthy book, Om Besiddelse efter norsk Ret ("On Possession after Norwegian Law") in 1863.

[7][8][9] In 1883–1884 Platou was an acting Supreme Court Assessor, and was a part of the Impeachment case against Selmer's Cabinet.

[1][10] After 1884 he worked in the high court of the Diocese of Kristiania, where he was transferred because his hearing was deteriorating.
