It's an idiom. To "make a case" means to make an argument for something - like a legal case. "To show what you mean is true" or "to give good reasons why something should be done."
I make a case that you should give me lots of cake.
He makes a case for higher budget in schools.
In this case (lol), it means that right now, the UK side can begin their legal arguments.
