ILLEGAL DOUBLE
Hi Guys
I had an issue the other night. I was called to a table where the bidding had gone
1NT X(alerted) X
The alerted double was 15 - 16 HCP and 5S.
I had never experienced this before.
Nevertheless I applied law 16B. The offender then passed and his partner must pass.
As the alerted double shows a suit and some HCP, Is my ruling correct.

Hi ColinLaw 36 covers any inadmissable double
Basically the offender may bid anything legal but partner must pass throughout
As with any withdrawn call there also may be:
[1] lead restrictions (law 26B) if the offending side becomes defenders
and/or
[2] adjustment if the offender might have been aware of potential damage at the time of his illegal double (Law 72C)
cheers
