When considering the 2007 Code of Laws Regulating Authorities may like to acquaint themselves in particular with the important changes to the laws that appear in:
Law 12 - Score adjustment
Law 17 - the Auction Period
Law 20 - Explanation of calls
Law 25 - Changes of call
Law 27 - Insufficient bid
Law 40 - Partnership Understandings
Laws 61 through 64 - Revokes
Laws 69, 70, 71 - Claims and Concessions.
Law 76 - Spectators
Law 80 - Regulating Authorities and
Tournament Organizers
Law 85 - Basis of determination of facts.
Law 92 - Concurrence of appellants
Since a number of Laws have been consolidated please use the Index to find an item that has been moved from its place in the 1997 Laws.
Note also that, for the most part, where a term is defined in a Law the Drafting Committee has sought not to include it again in the Definitions; the Index will lead seekers to it. You may also care to observe that there is a period after the commencement of the Auction Period and prior to the commencement of the auction (see definition of 'Auction').
This is relevant when reading Law 40B2 (b) and (c), for example.
Also please note that the following Laws extend options that Regulating Authorities may wish to consider: 12C, 16B2, 18F, 20F, 20G, 40A1, 40B1, 40B2, 40B3, 41A, 45A, 61B, 70E2, 73A2, 76A2, 76C, 78D, 79C, 80A, 80B, 81C8, 86A, 91B, 92B, 93C1, 93C2, 93C3.
The wish of the drafting subcommittee is to produce before long an appendix or memorandum of discussion, not having the force of law, that we hope will be helpful to Directors confronted by problematic situations.
