And what rule is that?
Lets say he just stands on second, and the defense never appeals. Does he still not legally occupy second. His position is legally his until appealed.
If there is a casebook or rule against this please post PWL. For me common sense in this situation told be one of his rewards was a retouch at 1st. But I inquired about the rule and was told my common sense was wrong by rule. Perhaps yours is too.
