DL, that is what the palm of your hand is for. To smack the FO so he lets go of the wheel.
Though in either type, that might favour a married FO, with a large wedding ring on his/her inboard hand... at least until they're back in the office... and it would only happen once.

In the Boeing FBW planes (777, 787) is there a take-over button to resolve the conflict?
They have inter-connected yokes.

Clandestino:

Thank you - I didn't think transferring control was as complicated as some think (no-one in particular).

That's just what they do but it is very, very wrong way to fly an Airbus. Only one pilot can fly her at the time, be it left, right or auto, this feat is just there to ease the hairy control handovers, before PiC clearly designates who will fly.
Indeed but some seem to think there's something dangerous about the Airbus dual-input logic when, functionally, it's not that different. As I said, if you get continued conflicting dual-input then you've got bigger issues to worry about.
