Scoring: IMP

1♦-(2♠)-DBL-(ps)
2NT-(ps)-ps-(ps)

Is north enough to make double, should anyone go to game, or all are normal?

I hope noone reads this, but I would double (it is a bit sick but with a doubleton spade and 5 hearts...). It seems South should bid 3♣ not 2N, which North would correct to 3♦.

The fifth heart and the support for opener makes this a more or less mandatory negative double IMO.

Agree that south really should avoid the nasty 2NT rebid. Better show hand type with 3♣.
Kind regards,

North forced 2NT or higher with an 8-count P.O.C., and South has a player. Whether game should be bid or not is one question. Sometimes fortune smiles. However, once North commits to that BIG double, South's bare minimum 2NT response seems a tad weaker than I'd expect from South. 3♣ has a serious merit of allowing a courtesy correction, after which 3NT should be the practical rebid by South.
