The Chancery Court or Chancery Division of the High Court operates within ecclesiastical law jurisdiction, including diplomatic.

The Chancery Court is considered a “high court of equity” in England and Wales, with common law functions and jurisdiction over causes in equity.

This court applies principles of equity or “equity law” to a dispute and has protected orders, which operate above acts and statutes.

If declared in court that you are “here by special appearance in Chancery”, it raises the jurisdiction of the court to a “higher level” above “acts and statutes”.
