THE REVOKE
LAW 61
- FAILURE TO FOLLOW SUIT - INQUIRIES CONCERNING A REVOKE 
- A. Definition of Revoke
- Failure to follow suit in accordance with Law 44
, or failure to lead or play, when able, a card or suit required by law
or specified by an opponent in accordance with an agreed penalty, constitutes
a revoke (but see Law 59 when unable
to comply).
- B. Right to Inquire about a Possible Revoke
- Declarer may ask a defender who has failed to follow suit whether he
has a card of the suit led (but a claim of revoke does not automatically
warrant inspection of quitted tricks - see Law 66C).
Dummy may ask declarer (but see Law 43B2(b)).
Defenders may ask declarer but, unless the zonal organisation so authorises,
not one another.
