   AS>>> On my way to work I have encountered a difficult case   
   AS>> Omit "have".   
      
   AK> The  information  about  the  case is connected with the   
   AK> present time (you haven't put the time mark). Therefore,   
   AK> IMHO, the present perfect time was correct.   
      
   No,  the  Present Perfect is harly possible here because "on   
   my way to work" clearly indicates a past time and makes  the   
   whole sentence narrative.
