John Masters of Florida-based Intersal Inc. says he plans to seek $140 million in damages from the state following the ruling Friday from the North Carolina Supreme Court that the case must return to Business Court. That includes exhibits at the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort, which attracts about 300,000 visitors a year, according to the Queen Anne’s Revenge website. The state Supreme Court ruled that the Business Court was wrong when it dismissed the claim that the permit denial breached the 2013 settlement agreement between the state and Intersal. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear a separate case about Queen Anne’s Revenge on Tuesday. In that case, North Carolina-based Nautilus Productions says the state violated its copyright through use of its photos and videos.
