N/S play 2/1 game forcing and the answer 1NT forcing on 1 Major opening.

N opens 1S, E pass, S 1NT ( alerted ), and West have a good hand but wants to wait and see the opener rebid's before deciding what to do.
But N pass , E pass and leads a small club. West calls TD, but of course it's too late to reopen the auction, and N/S get a very good score.

What is the ruling ?
Is N allowed to pass on a forcing bid ?

Many thanks, Best regards

Yes, he is allowed to pass a forcing bid. The TD will investigate to find out whether they really play it as forcing - otherwise there is MI - by asking such questions as "Why did you pass 1NT?" and "Have you passed 1NT in this sequence before?".

But if he decides they play it as forcing, that is an end of it: no infraction, no adjustment.
