Herman De Wael:

2007 Law 81C2:

The Director (not the players) has the responsibility for
rectifying irregularities and redressing damage. The
Director's duties and powers normally include also the
following:
to administer and interpret these Laws and to advise the
players of their rights and responsibilities thereunder.

Richard Hills:

If I was the hypothetical Director of a hypothetical
session in which Herman De Wael was a hypothetical player
no hypothetical ruling would be necessary.

Instead I would make an announcement at the start of the
session, pursuant to my directorial powers under the 2007
Law 81C2, that all players must obey the Majority School
and abhor the De Wael School.

Since Herman De Wael has repeatedly stated in the past
that he would obey an official pronouncement contrary to
the De Wael School, therefore for this hypothetical
session Herman's allegiance to the De Wael School would
have to be temporarily suspended.


Best wishes
