Test case contains the elements like; testcase no, testcase description, expected result, actual result, Status, remark. According to me, the one key element is actual result.
Correct me if I am wrong.

'Suma' is wrote all good answers but in the lost she said sorry.
Actually it's write. 'Test case' document contains the fields as differ from compnay to compnay. These are Testcase No Type(+ve -ve) Priority MATs/Func Screen Name TestCaseName Description Testcase steps Requirement Id Status Assigned to etc.
I think Actual Result is the key element bcos we need to test the actual results with the expected result i think so bcos we get the expected result from the SPS doc.
Here one should concentrate on two things. There cannont be One key element of test case. You need both actual results as well as expected results to compare with each other. If you do not know what is the expected results actual result is of not much use. Hence both are important as they are dependent on each other.
I too think same as Nikhil's answer.i.e: Key element is expected result. Actual result is the one which is observed on the actual system but expected results becomes a key element here.Point here is actual result may change any point of time but expected result is stable. Actual result should always match expected result
The ONE Key element of a testcase is the Testcase ID Because that is unique and will be used in entire testing processes like Bug report Tracebilitymatrix and so..on.
