(2D*) Pass (3H**) X
(3S)  ?
 
* Multi but can be based on a five-card major
 
** Pass or Correct
 
What are your logical alternatives
 
i/  If partner's double is penalties?
 
# Not enough (in H and/or points) to bid 4H, so I've to pass. Perhaps
partner will act once more ?
 
ii/ if partner's double is takeout?
 
# doubling 3S seems sane, knowing that partner holds 3+ in that suit. 3NT is
excessive, but I know some that would bid it. 4C is possible, too.
 ...
 
What can you do as the director when West chooses a very unusual
action which happens to work creating a suspicion that something
untoward was going on?
 
# I don't like the words "creating a suspicion".
Either Eas't mannerisms suggest an action over another, and you know the
Laws.
Either they don't (or there aren't), and why should Wes'ts strange action be
something else that a strange action ? BTW, none of double, 3NT, 4C or 4H
(after Xdouble) or even 4NT is so strange. You know, Multi still creates
havoc in opponents' auction.
 
 
Best regards
