[blml] By the pricking of my thumbs [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

[richard.hills at immi.gov.au]

I opened 1S, LHO passed, and partner intended to
respond 1NT (which in our Symmetric Relay methods -
system notes emailed on request - was an artificial
game force relay).

However, partner's thumb slipped and he pulled out
the 1S card from his bidding box instead.

I immediately called the Director, and only now did
partner realise his error.

Since it was my summoning of the Director which
awakened partner to his mispull, what Law should
the Director have used for his ruling?

(a) Law 25A, Immediate Correction of Inadvertency?
(b) Law 25B, Delayed or Purposeful Correction?
(c) Law 27, Insufficient Bid?


Best wishes
