Enquiring about revokes.

I frequently come across players who regularly chant "having none, partner?" whenever partner fails to follow suit. If you are one of them, then please stop. A defender may not ask his partner whether he has a card of the suit led1.

Declarer can ask anyone and anyone (including dummy unless he's forfeited his rights) can ask declarer but that's your lot.

1 unless (according to Law 61B) "the zonal organisation so authorises". However, unless and until you can present me with firm evidence to the contrary, I don't believe that get-out applies in England.
