What would be my legal position if my Bank where to lodge 10k into my account by accident and I withdrew the money and spent it?
hi
this happened to me in an international bank and the law there was - banks fault banks problem.
Not sure but could you be prosecuted under criminal law for theft or under civil law for misappropriation of funds or something like that if it came to a head?
Post crossed with CCOVICH's.
I dont think its theft if it was given even if given by accident.
