Default Re: Please explain what it means?

It means : Is it true that...

Here, case means situation. For example I might say:

My brother might be here tomorrow. In that case, he can look after the dogs while I go shopping.

In other words, I'm not sure if he's coming, but if it happens, if the situation is that he's here, then I can go shopping while he looks after the dogs.
