Revo (but not PIV) also lists "ĝustokaze", with the following example: "Ĝustokaze diru al mi, kian impreson vi ricevis de la konatiĝo" (from a text by I.G.Ŝirjaev). I feel this is not a correct combination of "ĝust-" and "okaz-", but maybe it is...

Kaze ke mi volos iri.
Edit: The Tekstaro seems to support 'en la okazo, se' rather than 'en la okazo, ke', though the latter seems to me more logical.
So En la okazo, se mi volus iris

The English sentence:
[Just] in case I want to go. (= If I should want to go)
is different from:
Just in case, I want to go. (= I want to go because something we've previously referred to might happen)
In the second example, to replace the free-floating just in case, I think Miland above is on the right track.

Miland:Ĉiaokaze means "in any case".I thought that was Ĉiukaze. Have I been writing it wrongly? I picked the word up from 'Fuzzy' on the Esperanto forum.
