[blml] Law 9

[Reg Busch]

Law 9: When an irregularity has occurred dummy may not draw attention to 
it during the play period but may do so after play of the hand is 
concluded. However any player, including dummy, may attempt to prevent 
another player's  committing an irregularity (but for dummy subject to 
laws 42 and 43).

ISTM that this allows dummy, for example, to attempt to prevent an 
irregularity by a defender during the play such as the wrong defender 
attempting to lead. But this right is not listed in Law 42. The question 
is: are dummy's rights under Law 9 limited strictly to those 
specifically listed under Law 42 ( if so there seems little point in 
mentioning dummy at all in Law 9). Or does dummy have a general right to 
prevent any infraction, and laws 42 and 43 are covering specifically 
only some of those rights?
