And how will you miracle your @$$ to the dummy 2 times?

Do the laws provide any redress for this -- assuming that declarer claims that he made a genuine mistake

Some time ago, an opponent employed this stunt against us. As declarer's LHO, I quickly pointed out he was in the wrong hand. After a pause, declarer tried again. Again I pointed out that the lead was in his hand. When he tried a 3rd time, after a longer tank, I was too slow to prevent a dozy partner from following suit, "condoning" declarer's infraction, and enabling him to make his contract

You got what you deserved for not calling the director immediately:)))))))))))))))))) I am on your side I hate playerws with lack of ethics but even a dozing partner will wake up to a director call:)))) HNY

IMHO I think the best plan is to assume rho has long diamonds and the club ace. The bidding would indeed be helpful since only an insane lho would lead a diamond with Qxxx when we have bid and raised diamonds. SO I would win trick 1 run all but 1 spade then play hearts ending in dummy the final 4 cards are !D Jx !C KQ opposite !S2 !Daxx what 4 cards can rho hold onto? if they hold only 2!c and 2!D we yield a dia trick and take the rest while if they hold the stiff !CA and 3 dia we lead the club K and they have to lead away from the Q at trick 12. This lop requires a very plausible rho holding of 3343 or less hearts and more clubs.
As Kaitlyn s points out a singleton dia lead is a ton more consistent with an aceless hand

I was gonna suggest ♥AK+♥Q and play ♣K from dummy and ruff ♣A when East covers (Which in my experience people do mostly all the time, but it might depend on the bidding which is not given). then follow a small diamond from hand. But upon reading Adam's line I think I like his more.
