If your name is on the WHOIS information for a domain name, are you the legal owner of the domain name?

not always, sometimes they can be registered on behalf of someone else so the owners name isnt shown with a whois lookup.

The name that Nominet have is the legal owner. If they're registered by a company then the company owns it.
It would be lost in a dispute of course where the party with more legitimate claim would normally be awarded it.
