Summary judgment dismissed because multiple bona fide triable issues arise from the pleadings and affidavit evidence (consent to assignment and payment arrangements, clause 47.2 compliance, liability for variation works, quantum discrepancies and admissibility of the quantum report, and alleged fiduciary duties), which require trial, discovery and witness evidence; balance of justice favors full trial.
