Accepted reaction to near collision and TCAS approved procedures - Learning w this ev

Referring to the above several bulletins, it is not recommended to innitiate any avoidance maneuver based on visual or TA only information.
More is said about not trying to avoid a traffic by turning (horizontal avoidance)
Other more basic regulations are clear about avoiding a colision by turning to the R.
Based on one regulation, or it may be correct to say, recommendation, the R turn in this event, was incorrect. Based on the other, it was necessary and correct.
So I ask you.....what is correct, if this happened in Europe, and Eurocontrol ACAS recommended procedures not followed, the pilot who turned R would be penalized?
