When the Enterprise reaches the battle and Picard finds out the Admiral's ship has been destroyed, he says to notify the fleet he is taking command of the fleet, even though he doesn't know if he's the ranking officer in the field (in fact, it is later revealed in "Voyager" that admiral Hayes did survive this battle). However, Picard didn't assume command because it was proper, but because he was the right man for the job. By this point he was already violating a direct order anyway, so this second act of insubordination would make little difference. The fleet played along because Picard is famous and highly respected, and they probably agreed with Riker that Hayes was wrong and Picard should have been in command from the start. Deanna's surprised reaction to Picard assuming control further indicates that Picard was knowingly breaking the rules in this case. Having said that, Picard may have actually had the authority to take command (see Trivia section about Starfleet regulation 191).
