In Australian law, what issues does direct interference poses in proving trespass to person? What is the extent to which Australian law is consistent with, or diverges from, the position taken in England or other international jurisdictions on the topic of directness?

Cases to consider:

- Scott v Shepherd (1773) 96 ER 525

- Platt v Nutt [1988] Aust Torts Reports 80-164
