There should not be any consultation between partners as to the
enforcement of penalties. If they do so consult, the penalty is paid.

Once a trick is complete, turned, and quitted, it must not be looked at
until the end of the hand.
* * * * *
Any player during the play of a trick, or after the four cards are
played and before they are touched for the purpose of gathering them
together, may demand that the cards be placed before their respective
players.
* * * * *
If either of the dealer's adversaries, prior to his partner's playing,
should call attention to the trick, either by saying it is his, or,
without being requested so to do, by naming his card or drawing it
toward him, the dealer may require that opponent's partner to play his
highest or lowest card of the suit led, or to win or lose the trick.
* * * * *
Either of the dealer's adversaries may call his partner's attention to
the fact that he is about to lead out of turn, but if he make any
unauthorised reference to any incident of the play the dealer may call a
suit from the adversary whose turn it is next to lead.
* * * * *
In all cases where a penalty has been incurred, the offender is bound to
give reasonable time for the decision of his adversaries; but if a
wrong penalty be demanded none can be enforced.
* * * * *
The partner of the eldest hand may inform him that their adversaries
have incurred a penalty, but may not give any further information.
Should he suggest the penalty, or demand the enforcement of it, such
action shall be deemed a consultation, and no penalty can be enforced.
