I was always under the impression that the Captain was, ultimately responsible and if unhappy with marshaler's instructions, should stop. In UK Law, there was a test case donks ago where the pilot of a light twin, at Leeds, I believe, followed the Marshaler's instructions and collided with something. The Judge made it clear that the Pilot is, ultimately, ALWAYS responsible. It thus became UK law . I believe ICAO adopted the same principle. Harsh, I know, but still the law. Be careful out there chaps.
