Playing Blue Club, I would open this hand 1H, planning to reverse into Spades.

North's 4S bid already denied a club control.
A new suit by North over 3S should be a cue bid in support of Spades.

I think 5d is a mistake :-)
The 4sp bid seems to deny a club control or he would have bid 4c instead of 4s.
I'd pass 4s and probably make some comments about dummy :-)

[Codo]

to pass 4 Spade is no good idea because the bidding is at the 5. level already

But there could be 2 possibilities for the bid:

1. Don´t knowing that 4 Spade from pd denied a club control.

2. showing a lead against possible 6 Club but willing to play at least 5 Spade.

Obviously the second idea was what North thought and the first idea was what South thought.

Kind Regards
