West's call accepted the insufficient bid, so all calls are part of the legal auction. The last bid is 3NT by South, so the contract is 3NT and the declaring side is North/South; North was the first of North/South to bid NT, so North is declarer.

See Law 22A2 and the definition of "declarer" in chapter one of the laws.
