You seemed to want to grant "Law" some higher status that "rule", or at least you differentiated between "Law book" and "rule book". All I'm saying is that I don't think there's any difference where a game is concerned

 

I am sure that the majority of bridge players in the world have never heard of a Law Book, but they know about sufficient bids and legal plays etc -- in short, the rules of the game.

One meaning of prima facie is "accepted as correct until proven otherwise". In effect, then, you said that a TD should rule against someone who did this unless he (or someone) can prove there's no law against it. So it seemed to me you were trying to suggest something can be illegal without contravening any laws.

 

By "prima facie" I meant 'on the face of it' - i.e. without having to resort to any other laws than the obvious one. It appears I also explained myself poorly. Apologies.
