Peter Eidt found:
Minutes of the Meeting of the WBF LC, Paris, 30.10.2001:

"5. The committee agreed that references to irregularities
in the laws refer to irregularities committed by players. An
action by a Director may be an error but this does not
constitute an ‘irregularity’ within the meaning of the laws."

Therefore I think, that dummy may point to a
TD's error while applying the law.
