Community advocacy group ACT NOW PNG have invited an economic specialist from Australia to evaluate compensation entitlements for customary landowners affected the Special Agricultural Business Leases.
If the landowners have a case they can successfully sue the government and be compensated accordingly.
A report was presented by Dr Anderson of the University of Sydney, in Port Moresby today.
Dr Anderson stressed that the framework for assessing compensation is not a pricing formula, but to assist landholders look at the variation in damages and lost production values that SABLs have caused.
