Donald aggravated interference by placing plants on Alexis’s floor: LJP Investments v Howard Chia Investments Pty Ltd (1989) 24 NSWLR 490 at 494.

Therefore, the threat of physical harm was present and continuing in Alexis’s mind from the time Donald made it to the time it was meant to be executed. Escape was impossible; hence satisfying immanency. This constitutes
