be the case
Actually be so
To be the case is to be true or to be the situation: I assumed he was coming, but that turned out not to be the case.
The phrase often appears in conditionals or when confirming or denying assumptions: If that's the case, we'll need to reconsider.
It's a slightly formal way of saying "be so" or "be true."
