+=+ Eric, are you saying that the second part of 
(1997) Law 68B does not apply?  (According 
to Koen Grauwels West immediately protested.)
 
   WBFLC minute 10 of 28 October 2001:
    "............ if the defender's partner immediately 
objects to the concession, under Law 68B no 
concession has occurred and by the same token 
neither has any claim been made. After the Director 
has been summoned play continues and Law 16 
may apply".
