White Book – November 2003 – Chapter VI
50.2 Law 50D1 [Major penalty card] [WBFLC]
When a player has a penalty card then it is authorised information that he must play
that card when the suit is led, but not that he possesses that card.
Suppose a player has the heart ace as a penalty card, then his partner, if leading from
KQJx, may lead the small card since it is authorised information that the ace will be
played.
However, he may not act as though he knows partner has that card. If a king was led
out of turn and the king is now a penalty card, then partner must act as though he does
not know about the king, nor about the queen, a normal deduction when partner leads
a king. He may not choose to lead the suit if the suit is suggested by the king and play
of a different suit is a logical alternative.

Law 51
Two or more Penalty Cards
51.1 Law 51 [Two penalty cards] [WBFLC]
This Law defines what to do with two [or more] penalty cards but the relevant parts of
Law 50 still apply.

Law 58
Simultaneous leads or plays
58.1 Visible
If a card can be identified then it is considered visible, but not otherwise.
Law 61
Failure to follow suit - inquiries concerning a revoke
61.1 Partner may have revoked
If a defender thinks his partner has revoked, he may neither ask "Having none?", nor
delay turning over his own card in an attempt to wake his partner up. Such actions are
considered breaches of Law 61B leading to the penalties in Law 63B – the delay in
turning the card is considered equivalent to a silent question.
Note
In some parts of the world it is still permitted for defenders to ask such
questions.
61.2 A player believes he may have revoked
A player believes that he may have revoked on a trick which has just been quitted. If
the TD ascertains (without exposing any cards) that a revoke has taken place, then
Law 62A requires it to be corrected. The quitted revoke trick is incomplete, and all its
cards should be re-exposed, particularly as players subsequent in rotation to the
offender may have the right to change their cards.
