Court found on facts that Shine validly assigned the sub-contract and the benefit of the guarantee to the joint venture (Boot and Shine), that Airedale waived prior consent, that FEC had actual or constructive assent and was effectively the alter ego of Airedale, and therefore the assignment did not discharge the guarantee; completion occurred on probabilities in December 1984 and retention monies were payable; judgment entered against FEC for five dishonoured cheques, retention money and $6,500 costs, interest and costs to be determined.
