West had bid 3♥ tried to change it to 4, the director was called he allowed the change to 4♥ without penalty.

5♦ was made, so South called the Director again and said that East action was influenced by West's insufficient bid. How would you rule?

Can I see the hands or is that unauthorized information?

If my partner had bid 3D earlier, constructive but not forcing, I would already know she only had 2 hearts at most...then exactly two hearts would be later confirmed by 4H with or without the 3H IB.

The only possible UI from the withdrawn 3H would be hand strength, not strain concerns.

Did the TD allow the change under Law 25A, ruling that 3♥ was unintended; or did the TD rule that a change to 4♥ was permitted and would not silence partner, under Law 27B1(a).

Assuming the call was allowed to be changed under 27B1a, the withdrawn call is not UI (that law specifies that 16D does not apply). However we could still adjust the score if we think the OS would likely have gotten a worse score without the insufficient bid (27D).

Is it at all clear that the information from 3♥ could suggest bidding 5♦, under whichever law (Law 16B or Law 27D)?

I know that this is peripheral to the main issue, but did the director allow the change of bid without giving N the chance to accept the IB?

I'm sorry for the mistakes made. South had doubled 3♠ asking for a lead. The Director gave all the options to North who decided not to accept 3♥ and also explained correctly that if the bid was changed to anything other than 4♥ East would have to pass for the rest of the bid.

The OP omissions now expressed don't seem to change anything. I can't see any use of UI pertaining to strain (or any UI existing relative to strain).

Since the attempt to bid 3♥ instead of 4 would most naturally address the strength and not the shape, move on there is nothing to see here.

Could it be that the double of 4♥ is a self inflicted debacle (as in doubling the only thing you can beat)? I've seen it often enough to have zero sympathy.

Devil advocate: 3♥ shows more doubt about strain that 4♥ because there is room for partner to bid 4♦ over 3♥ which could be raised to 5♦.
