or whether the hand shall be played without trumps. If he exercise that option, he shall do so by naming the suit, or by saying "No trumps."
48. If the dealer does not wish to exercise his option, he may pass it to his partner by saying "I leave it to you, Partner," and his partner must thereupon make the necessary declaration, in the manner provided in the preceding Law.
49. If the dealer's partner make the trump declaration without receiving permission from the dealer, the eldest hand may demand:
I. That the declaration so made shall stand.
II. That there shall be a new deal.
But if any declaration as to doubling or not doubling shall have been made, or if a new deal is not claimed, the declaration wrongly made shall stand. The eldest hand is the player on the left of the dealer.
50. If the dealer's partner pass the declaration to the dealer, the eldest hand may demand:
I. That there shall be a new deal.
II. That the dealer's partner shall himself make the declaration.
51. If either of the dealer's adversaries makes the declaration, the dealer may, after looking at his hand, either claim a fresh deal or proceed as if no such declaration had been made.
52. A declaration once made cannot be altered, save as provided above.
