I have a flight with British Airways on which I have two cases booked. Their allowance is for 23kg per case.
One case is only 15. The other is 27. Mathematically this is under 46. Would this be allowable on BA flights or is it strictly 23 max per case?

Strictly speaking, it's per case. In my experience they'll often be a little lax if one is over by a few hundred grams. I would not expect them to accept a case that is four kilos over the limit, so I would move some items from the heavier case to the lighter one before checking them in.
Another option would be to put the heavier case on the scale first to see whether the agent at the desk says anything. If they don't, you don't have to do anything. If they do, you can transfer the items at that point.

The 23 kilo limit is to save workers from damaging their back, so they usually keep it strong.
As you do have two cases, re-arrange your belongings to neither one is over 22 kilos (leaving a bit of space in case one or more of the scales are off.)
There are ticket classes which do allow for 32 kilo luggage. Which is over the 23 kilo range by quite a bit, but those cases are handled in a different way and airline staff are required to handle them with two people.
