WBF Code of Practice, page 7:

"A player who, without design, makes unauthorized information
available to his partner does not commit an infraction of law
or propriety; it is the use of that information that is a
breach of the laws."

Tim West-Meads:

>Hesitations *are* irregularities (L73a2 Calls and plays
>should be made without special emphasis, mannerism or
>inflection, and without undue hesitation or haste).
>
>The use of UI is an infraction.

Richard Hills:

Is Tim saying that hesitations without design, although not
infractions, are still irregularities?

If so, I disagree.  I believe that an infraction should be
defined as an irregularity committed by a player.

And it is a player who hesitates without design.

Ergo, if a hesitation without design is not an infraction, it
cannot be an irregularity either.  Therefore Tim's
interpretation of "without undue" in Law 73A2 has been
superseded by the WBF CoP interpretation, which has redefined
"without undue" as meaning "without design".
