What happens if a bank mistakenly pays money into an account?

A transfers money from his account to B's account (another bank), A does this via his bank, his bank mistakenly takes sum of money twice from his account. A speaks to his account and they refund the money to him as well as compensation for the mistake. In the meanwhile B has received 2 payments from A. A is now asking for sum of money from B even though he has received money back from bank. What are the legal implications for B?

    Forget the A-B crap. If the bank made a mistaken deposit, it will be discovered and withdrawn without notice.

    A has been repaid, he has no standing.

    The BANK can debit the account due the mistake and can sue B if they are not repaid.
