The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom refused the former bank owners permission to appeal the decision awarding damages.
PrivatBank received notice that the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom refused its former owners, Ihor Kolomoyskyi and Hennadiy Boholyubov, permission to appeal the English court’s ruling to pay more than 3 billion dollars.
This is stated in PrivatBank’s press release.
In July 2025, the High Court of England found that Kolomoyskyi and Boholyubov committed massive fraud against the bank. The court ordered them to reimburse damages exceeding 3 billion U.S. dollars.
The former owners tried to appeal this ruling in the Court of Appeal of England, arguing that they allegedly returned illegally appropriated funds to the bank. However 22 May 2026, the court dismissed their appeals.
After this, Kolomoyskyi and Boholyubov turned to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom for permission to pursue further appeal. The court denied their applications.
PrivatBank noted that these rulings finalize the appellate process. Therefore, the English court’s decision to collect more than 3 billion dollars, including damages, interest, and legal costs, may now be enforced in any jurisdiction.
The bank welcomed the Supreme Court’s decision and stated that it would continue work on enforcing the court ruling.
PrivatBank is the largest bank in Ukraine; it was nationalized at the end of 2016. According to the National Bank of Ukraine, the bank’s total assets as of 1 August 2026 year were 979,31 billion hryvnias.
In 2025, PrivatBank won the case in a London court against former shareholders Ihor Kolomoyskyi and Hennadiy Boholyubov.
