No, "above-mentioned" acts as an adjective, you don't use 's in that case.

Thanks Mate,

But how about this:

The book provides stimulating thoughts and is an engaging read. Although firmly rooted in pantheism his views are very valuable and interesting. To this reviewer, however, pantheism is limiting for a variety of reasons. Further to this I would like to refer the reader to the idea of panentheism as it manifests in the works of Carl Friedrich Wilhel

Oh yes, it's possible, although I'm more familiar with "the latter's". Sorry, I hadn't understood your sentence from that point of view.

It's better though to hyphenate "last-mentioned", "above-mentioned", etc., as Pieanne suggests.

I was going to say, the legalese always contain this type of words:

Per Florida's Made Whole Doctrine, insurers need only reimburse their insureds to the extent of their insured's legally recoverable loss.
State Farm paid the insured the full amount of the insured's property damage claim, minus a $500 deductible.
