Older Unreported Judgments

Question:
How does one access "unreported cases", for example the case of Thuat The Nguyen v Elliott (unreported 6 Feb 1995, Hedigan J Vic Supreme Court).
The Austlii website doesn't seem to have any avenue for unreported cases.

Answer:
The Online Case Law page has a list of places that you can go to get unreported judgments. AustLII is a comprehensive site for unreported judgements but some of the older decisions are not availabel there. LexisNexis AU is one source, and another source is the Victorian Supreme Court website. If you have checked AustLII and the case is not there then check LexiusNexis AU and the Victorian Supreme Court catalogue. It is available in both places.
