# unicorn/switch-case-break-position

> Require `break`, `return`, `continue` and `throw` inside the braces of a `case`

When the body of a `case` is in braces and the `break` comes after the closing brace, the `break` is easy to overlook, and easy to leave behind when you move the block.

The rule reports a `case` that's a block followed by only a `break`, `return`, `continue` or `throw`.
