The primary purpose of this paper is to show the theoretical and empirical problems of Case theory suggested in GB and the Minimalist Program. The secondary purpose of the paper is to criticize the notion of Case feature, arguing that the feature is not necessary for computation but for interpretation at the interfaces. From a pure ontological view, the notion of Case feature is not necessary for computation. The morphological Case manifests the relationship between nominals and functional heads.
