Does anyone know how I can access information about a case heard in the Court of Chancery during the first half of the 20th century? Date unknown.

If this was a case in the Chancery Division of the High Court it may have been reported in the All England Law Reports or one of the other commercial law report providers. Not all cases were so reported, only cases which had some interest usually on a point of law.

If you know the names of the parties and the approximate year I can attempt to look it up for you.
