(I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, but if it were me I would probably use a synonym). On an additional stylistic note, while "to be" is not necessary, I think it sounds better when it is there. | |

You could say "In specific cases ...", but not "In specific, cases ...", you should use "Specifically" if you want to say something like that (i.e. you don't separate off "in specific" by itself with a comma). | |
