Re: Dummy's rights

Last Saturday at the club I had a player (dummy) at my table turn one of declarers earlier quitted tricks to point towards him. I mentioned at the end of the hand that this was a beach of the laws. He asked why and I said that declarer may not need to take a losing finesse to try to make his contract if he now realised that he had an extra trick.
