I have emailed my friend back to make sure she got her Easts and Wests correct - but she is normally pretty exact, so this is the scenario she contacted me about -
North is the dealer and Passes
WEST bids 1C and North Passes again
At this stage neither East nor South have called anything.
This seems to me like a bid out of turn that has been accepted by North's second Pass.
If North hadn't made the 2nd pass (and didn't accept the 1C bid), am I correct in assuming that the auction would revert to East who must pass throughout?

Sounds about right ...

Quote

L31B:  When the offender has bid at his partner’s turn to call, or at his LHO’s turn to call, if the offender has not previously called, offender’s partner must pass whenever it is his turn to call (see Law 23 when the pass damages the non-offending side).The lead restrictions of Law 26 may apply.

Oops, I misread the auction. That is right.
