On the evidence there was no common intention or agreement to insure ex-factory; the cover notes and policies unambiguously provided cover from the warehouse at the China port (Shenzhen) and not from the factories; the damage occurred before the goods had left the warehouse/warehouse grounds (during inland transit and handling) and therefore prior to attachment of cover; rectification was unavailable and the claim fails.
