Default Domain Name question

I was asked this today... and I honestly dont know the answer, so I thought id ask here.

If person A buys a domain then changes the owner/contact details of the name to person B... whose is the domain legally?
Theoretically of course person A could change the owner/contact details back to themself at any time.

Id like to make it clear im not person A or B

I believe ICANN and most registrars would go by the owner/contact information to determine who the owner is. If I were the new owner listed in the whois, I would immediately transfer the domain to my own registrar to avoid any potential reversal of the change by the old owner.

Thanks for that Dave, so presuming person A changed the ownership info back then they would be the legal owner again.

I should remember that.
