decision re: assisted suicide Content-Type: text X-Mailer: ELM [version

One of our professors is looking for a recent decision by the
Supreme Court of the Northern Territory of Australia regarding the
Northern Territory's assisted suicide law. (The act itself, the Rights of
the Terminally Ill Act, is available on the web, but the Norhthern
Territory's site doesn't include court cases.)
I haven't been able to find the decision in the AUST database on
Lexis. According to the news stories I have found, the decision was
handed down on July 24, 1996, and is expected to be appealed (and
overturned) by Australia's High Court in September. If anyone can give me
a lead on how I might find the Northern Territory Supreme Court decision
(or confirm that the opinion was not reported), I would greatly appreciate
it. Thanks for any help!
