Luckily no but there must be communication where a pilot in full control can take over.
I had a situation where my FO was landing in a business jet and somehow got his size 12 foot jammed in the rudder/brake pedal.
with the command I have control I took over and stopped the jet departing the runway.
Had I sat there and let him get on with it or had we not briefed for such an occurrence the chances are we would have departed the runway into the grass.

As stated I am sure one result of this will be an awareness of the incident and a briefing on how each pilot should react if it happens again which it probably will not.
