L25A4 applies, as Robert knows.  The only further rectification is any 
consequence of LHO's call being UI to the opening side.

L9B1a and 9B2 apply, and everything should have stopped when the 
Director was called.  LHO's call subsequent to that was an infraction 
that will have to be rectified.  I suppose the Director would treat 
LHO's attempted call as an extraneous remark or action, UI to that side, 
AI to the other.

The event that terminated LHO's right to call was attention being drawn 
to the mispull, nothing to do with the summoning or arrival of the Director.

This was confusing, so let's make it more specific.  East, defending 
3NT, has six diamond tricks ready to run.  South, declarer, leads a 
heart.  East wins his ace while West discards a spade, revoking.  If:
a) the revoke is noticed and corrected, West will have a major penalty 
card.  Declarer can require a spade lead from East and, let's say, win 
the rest for making six.  Or
b) the revoke is not noticed, East will cash his diamonds, establishing 
the revoke.  East takes seven tricks and gives one back at the end for 
down two.

Sven suggested L64C might apply to scenario b), but I don't see how. 
What might apply, though, is L72B1 plus L23.  If _West_ "could have been 
aware" that failing to correct his revoke in time would be advantageous, 
the score should be adjusted to the result of a).

Here we are in scenario a) unless West denies revoking.  What's 
different is not that the Director was called, it's that someone drew 
attention to or asked about the possible revoke.  After that, L12A1 
applies: failing to admit a revoke when asked is an irregularity.
