It may well be called Javex in Australia (that's what the brits call it)

One word of caution about bleach, it *is* pretty toxic. If you want
to soak it *don't* put your hands in the pail...

Others have already suggested methods of removal that they have
actually used (which is always a good sign!), so you would probably
want to do as they suggest if you can't get anyone to swap cases.
Another thing you *might* try (I've used this on other plastics, but
not classic cases) is careful application of acetone (found commonly
in nail polish remover), which softens the plastic and pulls off the
top layer... let me know if it works :)
Cheers,
Nicole
