Kristian Garup Meidell
Kristian Garup Meidell, sometimes just Garup Meidell (8 May 1866 – 25 July 1926) was a Norwegian barrister.
He was born in Nes i Hallingdal as a son of district stipendiary magistrate Frants Henrik Meidell and Olivia Annette Caroline Arntzen. In 1893 he married Kristine Marie Birkeland, a daughter of Supreme Court Justice Laurits Birkeland.[1] Their son Arne Meidell became a known industrial leader.[2] Another son, Frants, followed in his father's footsteps as a barrister.[3][4]
Garup Meidell finished his secondary education in 1885 and graduated from the Royal Frederick University with the cand.jur. degree in 1890.[1] He worked under his father before settling as an attorney in Kristiania in 1893. From 1896 he was a barrister with access to working with Supreme Court cases. Among others he worked as a lawyer for the Central Bank of Norway, and at his death he was described as one of the "best known jurists" in Norway's capital.[3]
He notably took part in the liquidation of Den norske Discontobank in 1901 and Industribanken in 1902.[1] He was also appointed by the state to the control committee of Andresens og Bergens Kreditbank, when this bank was placed under public administration in 1923.[3] He chaired the supervisory council of Elektrisk Bureau,[5] and was a board member of the Norwegian Bar Association. He died in July 1926 at Modum Bad.[3]
