This isn't an eminent domain case. The Government of South Carolina is basically saying these documents are ours and always have been. They do not belong to this guy, accordinng to the ruling. Therefore, he is not entitled to "just compensation"

I hadn't looked at from this angle, maybe he can bill the state for storage and preservation fees.

doctrine of latches? too much time has passed.

Content may be public information but the actual "papers" should go to the trustee for sale.

They'll probably claim they were stolen property and he should feel lucky they are not going to prosecute him for trying to fence stolen property, therefore no "storage fees" or "preservation fees"..........
