Did you bid the 7NT ?

In any UI case, a player in receipt of UI can (ie, has the power to) use that UI, or appear to do so, if he wants. That doesn't mean that use of UI won't (as in this case) result in a score adjustment (and, where warranted, procedural penalties).

This is not "any" UI case. It is a UI case where the player received no UI from his partner.

 

Do you mean that this player should avoid taking advantage of the UI anyway, which may very well give him a bad score? If so, what can he do to get the A+ he deserves from Law 16C2c, being a non-offending side?

Call the Director!

I guess that means what blackshoe wrote in the middle paragraph of his previous post doesn't mean anything to you. He doesn't think a TD can adjust on a played board in this circumstance. His interpretation works for me, or at least should be acknowledged as a learned one.

I must admit I hadn't seen that post of his when I wrote my comment.

 

On reading it I agree with what he writes except that I see no reason why Law 12C1{d} "If the possibilities are numerous or not obvious, the Director may award an artificial adjusted score" cannot be applicable.

 

Still I stand by my comment: What a player must do in order to protect his interests when he fears or suspects an irregularity is just to call the Director and let him take charge. I see no conflict with blackshoe here?

No conflict, Sven. As for 12C1{d}, I didn't say it cannot apply, just that the TD should make every effort to avoid applying it. Or IOW, the fact that the TD will have to do a little work to come up with an appropriate assigned adjusted score is not an excuse for taking the easy out.
