Brenco v. South Carolina Department of Transportation

Brenco (respondent) brought suit against the Department of Transportation (petitioner) relating to a deed for the sale of a portion of its property along Highway 501 in Horry County, as well as for inverse condemnation. The master-in-equity found in favor of petitioner with respect to respondent’s causes of action for rescission of the deed due to mutual mistake, rescission due to unilateral mistake, negligent misrepresentation, and declaratory judgment. The master took respondent’s inverse condemnation claim under advisement but later ruled in favor of petitioner.
