Commentary for Horayot 3:2

הורו ב"ד וידע אחד מהן שטעו או תלמיד והוא ראוי להוראה והלך ועשה על פיהן בין שעשו ועשה עמהן בין שעשו ועשה אחריהן בין שלא עשו ועשה הרי זה חייב מפני שלא תלה בב"ד זה הכלל התולה בעצמו חייב והתולה בב"ד פטור:

If the court issued [such] a ruling and one of them knew that they erred, or a student who is capable of ruling [knew that they erred], and he went and did it because of their instructions, whether they did it and he did it with them, whether they did it and he did it after them, whether they did not do it and he did it, he is liable because he was not relying on the court. This is the rule: If one relies on himself, he is liable. If one relies on the court, he is exempt.
