Legal position if a passenger wants to get off?

Hi All, Just a strange subject that came up in conversation this evening - what are passengers rights and company procedures if a passenger wishes to not travel on a flight?

Obviously if they never board, it's not so much of an issue, but what if they are boarded, about to close up and then they want to get off? How about during taxi and/or once in flight?

I realise aircraft on the start of a long flight don't just turn round and land for a pax request but are there any silly paper legal implications of taking someone half way around the globe when they have expressed a wish not to go

Just interested in peoples ideas and if there are any rules about this. I've been flying for several years and never come across the situation.
