German term (edited):
ggstl. Fall
Selected
case at hand / present case
"Ggstl." stands for "gegenständlich", hence "wie im gegenständlichen Fall" -> "as in the case at hand [present case]". The abbreviation seems to be used mainly in Austrian German. Does your text come from Austria?
See German example at http://www.ooe.gv.at/cps/rde/xchg/ooe/hs.xsl/36266_DEU_HTML.... (where both the abbreviation and the full term are used).

Comment: "Many thanks Steffen, also for the reference. Sorry not to give more context, I would have had to rewrite it to protect confidentiality. But, yes, you are right, it is an Austrian source document."

ggstl. must be "gegenständlich"
So "wie im ggstl. Fall" could be translated as:
"as in the case that is the subject referred to here"
"as in the current case"
"as in this case"
"as in the case under consideration here"
Which phrase fits best depends on the actual context (which you chose not to give us).
