Sure, but what does being subject to Law 43 mean in 9A3 and 42B2? Is it that dummy can’t participate in the play, by trying to stop an irregularity that harms declarer while doing nothing if the irregularity may help declarer? Is it just after violation of dummy’s 43A limitations when declarer looks to be leading from the wrong hand? Presumably warning a defender about to lead from the wrong hand is still ok. Something else?

This concept was already implicit in Laws 9A4 and 42B3, but it is helpful for the Definitions to unambiguously spell out what's what. Best wishes, Richard Hills PS In the ABF Newsletter Laurie Kelso has observed that the 2017 Laws 9A3 and 42B2 now give dummy expanded power to prevent any irregularity; under the 2007 Lawbook dummy was merely entitled to prevent declarer's irregularities.
