Using ‘;&’ in place of ‘;;’ in case statement

I am reading the Gnu Bash Manual "3.2.5.2 Conditional Constructs".

In the "case" part, the manual states that 

Using ‘;&’  in place of ‘;;’ causes execution to continue withthe command-list 
associated with the next clause, if any.

How can one clause cause a match, then continue to another clause that causes 
an additional match?
