Opening out of turn - can presumed dummy suggest anything ?

I think that it would be illegal to do it intentionally, but how would you ever tell if the action was intentional or not? As you suggested, it's quite plausible that South was expecting to put their hand down as dummy as soon as the opening lead was faced. They did so, but just didn't notice in time that the lead was from the wrong side. Maybe Pran and I don't agree in every detail, but I meant that I agree the TD should allow play to continue and adjust the score under law 72C.

I am in this topic because i try to intercept VixTD as i've mailed you and yet i'm waiting for an answer. Anyhow, reading this case, let you to say my thinking. How is possibile to invert dummy and declar hands? Put the case that the (right) declarer hand be rich in points and the first (right) dummy hand as black with no entries. If you invert the position dummy can have the possibility to make an impasse that i.e. could fullfill a contract that instead is down for a trick if invertion is not allowed. Are you agree or i am wrong ?

Too bad. Don't lead out of turn.

 

But declarer normally has to make the decision about whether to invert dummy and declarer before seeing dummy, so he can't always be sure whether it will give him an advantage.

Perhaps, but in my proposed case, if as here as opp the hand is also much rich in points that the declarer can with a (good) probabilty to think to have a gain for inversion and do so ?
