English term

the case at hand

Non-PRO English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
I was reading the article regarding to assessment model for the transport of dangerous goods and encountered the word "the case at hand" which is not familiar to me.
I copied three sentence that the word was used below.
I'd like to know what this word actually means and what they are trying to say.
Any idea would help me. thanks


The model focuses on risks during construction, which is not relevant for the case at hand.

The environmental effects have been subdivided in 11 aspects, which is too detailed for the case at hand, and will therefore not be treated here.

Indirect effects are effects on the remainder of the economy, evon cross-border effects. For the case at hand these effects are not applicable.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
