Oscar Ludvig Stoud Platou (16 July 1845 – 17 January 1929) was a Norwegian jurist. After fourteen years as an assessor in Oslo City Court from 1876 to 1890, he was a professor at the Royal Frederick University from 1890 to 1920.

Personal life

He was born in

Lars and Valborg Platou,[2] second cousin of Gabriel Andreas Stoud Platou, Christian Emil Stoud Platou and Waldemar Stoud Platou and first cousin once removed of Carl Platou.[3]

In November 1876 in Kristiania he married Emma Collett (1850–1934), a daughter of Johan Christian Collett.[1]

Career

dr.juris degree in 1876.[1]

In 1875 Platou applied to become professor of jurisprudence, but lost out to

maritime law), Forelæsninger over norsk Selskabsret (two volumes 1906 and 1911, corporate law), Umyndiges Retshandler (1911), Forelæsninger over udvalgte Emner af Privatrettens almindelige Del (two volumes 1912 and 1914) and Forelæsninger over Retskildernes Theori (1915). It has been noted that these works were "qualitatively of highly inequal value", with Forelæsninger over norsk Arveret and Forelæsninger over norsk Søret being the most important.[1]
