The HK was played (OOT, so an infraction) and then withdrawn.  That 
remains true even if the PC provisions are waived.  L16C2 handles the 
rest.  Had the HK been, ahem, "accidentally dropped" I'd probably rule 
under L72B1 instead (I might choose L72b2 if offender was on my ethical 
blacklist - note to possible litigants, if you have made it onto my 
ethical blacklist you really *don't* want your bridge history analysed in 
open court).
