Precedents:
From the May 2000 LoAR:
The chaussé line of division, along with chapé and vetu , are different from other lines of divisions in that the outer portions never contained charges in period. Thus we can also not allow charges that overlap the outer portions.
From the March 1998 LoAR:
It cannot be as it was blazoned, as we do not charge vêtu, chapé or chaussé.
From the May 1996 LoAR:
Nor do we charge the shod part of a chapé or chaussé field.
