Classic part score competition
West will pass.
North with only 10 HCP with good intermediate cards and the worst of all distributions 4333 will pass.
East has a 1♦ opening with the plan of rebidding 2♦ or maybe a double to show 4♥ s if the opposition bid.
South might consider a very weak 1♠ overcall.
As west has passed West may bid 2♣ (though a bit weak, he is NV and competing could be correct).
North with 4♠ s and 10HCPs has a choice of bidding the unassuming cue bid (UCB) (as with his pass he is maximum for his original pass - here is Andrew Robson on UCB) and this is better than bidding to the level of fit - 3♠. (Here is Andrew Robson on level of fit)
Over 2♦ East will double to show 4♥ s and probably support for ♣ s
South is minimum for hi sovercall so will bid 2♠
West will bid 3♣ and North will bid 3♠ - completing the bidding to the level of fit.
This is unlikely to be doubled so 2 down for -100 is better than 3♣ or 3♦ making for -110
