Both vul at IMPs North deals and bids 1 Heart (SAYC) with
8
AJ963
KQ
KQ982

Opponents passing, South responds 1 Spade with
KT9743
52
AT876
(void)

How should the auction continue?
Am I correct that North is much too weak to jump to 3 Clubs,
especially with singleton in partner's suit?
(But if North does jump to 3C, how would bidding then continue?)

Cheers,
James

1H-1S
2C-2H... weak suit-preference bid.
South's spades are not strong enough to bid with a 7-HCP (misfit) hand and a diamond bid would be 4th-suit forcing.

I agree. Though it's notionally a 5-loser hand, the quality of the long
suits isn't great and as you say the singleton spade is a disadvantage.

>(But if North does jump to 3C, how would bidding then continue?)

It's a horrible misfit and I fear the worst after that 3C. Most people
would play 2D over 2C as fourth suit forcing, but I'm not sure that that
still applies after the forcing 3C. But even if natural it must still be
forcing. With the misfit, the bidding might end in 3NT, but that's a
horrible contract. You'd need to be lucky with the trump position to
make 4S, should you finish there.
