Hello everyone,
Am I right in thinking that "in case" means "lest something
happens" and "in the case" carries "in this particuar situation, in
these cicumstances, as to this matter." Once I was sure of that but
now that I have read my colleague's article it boggles me.
Donna has answered you. I would just add that your interpretation of
"in the case" sounds as if you were thinking of "in *this* case".
That is more or less what that would mean.
That's it. I think he's trying to translate the Polish "w tym
przypadku", which means "in this case/in that case".

will serve a good weapon against my workmate's usage of the expression.
