In accordance with the new Disciplinary Code, the World Bridge Federation (WBF) appointed a standing Investigation Committee to allow the WBF to act and to apply sanctions in cases of improper behaviour, including events organised by third parties (whether in-person or online), whilst of course absolutely respecting the right of everyone to have
a fair trial.
Mr Eric Laurant, member of the WBF Executive Council, has been appointed Chairperson of this new Committee, with Ms Georgia Heth, member of the WBF Advisory Committee and President of the ACBL, as Vice-Chairperson.
This Investigation Committee will include legal and technical experts with a panel of top players using their own judgement and the best technology and tools they can obtain.
