I am not particularly familiar with UK regulations, but my immediate 
reaction is: With a hand worth at least 13 points (12 HCP and 1 
distribution)why did your partner not raise directly to 4S?

Another point is that I should hardly accept your opening bid as a psyche
- 
I do not consider it a "gross misstatement". So I too would probably
adjust.

And as a final point I consider awarding AV- or AV+ illegal when a result 
has been obtained or can be obtained on a board. Only in exceptional 
situations should the Director not adjust to some result rather than 
assigning an artificial score.
