2017 Law 40A4: "The agreed meaning of a call or play shall not alter by reference to the member of the partnership by whom it is made (this requirement does not restrict style and judgement, only method)." Richard Hills: Some years ago a world-class expert was sponsored by a ferret. (In Aussie cricket slang the bunnies go in after the batsmen, and the ferret goes in after the bunnies.) So the expert devised a method of one-way transfers - the sponsor would transfer, but the expert would not, thus causing the Hideous Hog expert to be more frequently declarer. The ABF quickly took decisive and appropriate disciplinary action against that partnership and their illegal CPU. On the other hand, I legally exercise my "style and judgement" to more frequently leap to slam than my various partners choose to do. Therefore, given that two very different concepts are discussed by the 2017 Law 40A4, I have chosen to mention these two concepts separately in the 2017 Index.
