Responder has a 9 loser hand... not worth a NMF bid after Opener shows a minimum even if s/he has 3 cards Sp :

1C - 1S
1NT ( 12-14 ) - 2D!
2H ( min, 4h, may have 3s ) - 2S ( 5s, no 4h, non-forcing )
pass


Agree, but I think I (North) should have corrected 3N to 4♠

Why? What if Responder just had a big hand and was using nmf to avoid having to bid 4NT? Presumably the 3NT bidder thought that 2H also denied 3 spades whereas the 2H bidder thought you show the 4 hearts before 3 spades. FWiiW the simple (B/I) version of nmf is that bidding nmf followed by something else shows one hand type stronger than bidding the same thing directly. So 2S over 1NT would be weak and therefore nmf followed by 2S is just an invite. This is the style I would expect when a PUP agree nmf without further discussion.
