Matrix Resourcing Australia PTY LTD is a business that facilitates the booking of motivational speakers for various types of business. Patrick Felson runs his own real estate business and booked a seminar through Matrix Resourcing due to run in Melbourne December 2021 by an expert from the UK at a cost of $4000. After Patrick agreed to the contract he is told that the seminar may need to be rescheduled to a different time and venue. Patrick assumes the venue will be in Melbourne but does not respond to this comment.

Two weeks before he is due to attend Patrick is informed that the seminar has changed to a different venue in Perth. Patrick is unable to get to Perth so Matrix Resourcing offers Patrick another seminar in Melbourne in early 2022 with a goodwill rebate of $500. Patrick declines this alternative and asks for a refund of $4000 for his ticket. Matrix Resourcing refuse to give Patrick the refund saying that he agreed to the terms of the contract.

Referring to the Common Law of Contract advise whether Patrick is likely to be successful in suing Matrix Resourcing for breach of contract. Use case references to support your conclusions. 8 Marks.
