LAW 35 _ INADMISSIBLE CALL CONDONED_

When, after any inadmissible call specified below, the offender’s LHO makes a call before a penalty has been assessed, there is no penalty for the inadmissible call (the lead penalties of Law 26 do not apply), and: A. Double or Redouble If the inadmissible call was a double or redouble not permitted by Law 19, that call and all subsequent calls are cancelled. The auction reverts to the player whose turn it is to call, and proceeds as though there had been no irregularity. B. Action by Player Required to Pass If the inadmissible call was a bid, double or redouble by a player required by law to pass, that call and all subsequent legal calls stand, but, if the offender was required to pass for the remainder of the auction, he must still pass at subsequent turns. C. Bid of More than Seven If the inadmissible call was a bid of more than seven, that call and all subsequent calls are cancelled; the offender must substitute a pass, and the auction proceeds as though there had been no irregularity. D. Call after Final Pass If the inadmissible call was a call after the final pass of the auction, that call and all subsequent calls are cancelled without penalty.
