Should North be made to to the ethical thing and bid Spades.

This is my view (but prepared for any National director to shoot me down
No rectification called for
Wrong bid is not an infraction
North has not been influenced by the UI he may have received
South possibly has supporting partners spades as a logical alternative (as he has good support for what he is required to believe about partners hand) but pass is Ok given his good diamonds. Good for defending and he has been warned the diamond length won't be a source of tricks if declaring in spades.
EW did Ok any way (East -100 in 3D is better for them than -140 for N making 3S)
