[blml] But me no buts [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[ciska.zuur at planet.nl]

I have the impression that when Law Y is 16C(2), and it is 16C mostly,  it is meant as: there are none or not too many consequences, bidding can go on, bid can be withdrawn etc.etc.  HOWEVER (but) there is UI, so 16C is involved.
 
Sop, the BUT is a WARNING that some other article (in this case art 16C UI) shall be applied also.
Therefor: it is not (a), not overriding
It is also not (b),
So it is (c), namely: besides article X, also article Y applies.
 
In fact, the but .... is redundant, because all articles applay always, unless specificly excluded for a certain situation.
And, it is confusing, because sometimes 'but 16C ...' is mentioned and sometimes not, giving arbiters the idea that there is no UI in the latter. E.g. article 30A. The introduction of art 16 is clear: the withdrawn pas was irregular and gives UI, so art 16 is applicable, but not mentioned in 30A.
 
Other views?

Several of the Laws in the Lawbook take this form ->

Law X - Such-And-Such:

"A player must do such-and-such (but see Law Y)."

Does the word "but" in this context mean:

(a) Law Y is an over-riding exception to Law X?

Or

(b) Law Y applies in different but similar cases?

Or

(c) None of the above?

Or

(d) All of the above?
