Yes, I see your point regarding the English useage and I believe you are right. "into view" rather than in ones case seems appropriate also. I am reticent to republish off a subscibed site but here is the jist of my inquiry. The tabling article referred to other matters i thought they were putting on the back burner. e "Michael Froomkin - U.Miami School of Law"

dunno about whatever incident sparked this, but I want to point out that
US & UK/Commonwealth English differ on the meaning of the phrase "to
table" something.
In the US this often means to kill it -- to put it on the table INSTEAD of
taking it up.
In the UK (and I presume the commonwealth) this most commonly means to put
it on the agenda (ie not let it slide).
