Supreme Court refuses permission in linked PrivatBank applications
Two related applications sought to challenge findings in litigation over misappropriated bank funds. Both permission refusals are dated 29 October.
The UK Supreme Court refused permission to appeal in separate applications by Gennadiy Bogolyubov and Igor Kolomoisky on 29 October 2026. Their official pages link each other under a shared legal issue. Lanza discovered both updated listings on 3 November.
The court summaries describe a dispute over findings of Ukrainian law, a defence based on repayments funded by later alleged misappropriations, and whether a party had departed from its pleaded case. These were proposed appeal issues. The summaries report that the Court of Appeal had rejected the challenges to the trial decision.
Both applications failed at the permission stage on the stated public-importance grounds. The refusals do not amount to a Supreme Court merits judgment deciding the proposed issues. The linked pages support reporting the applications together, while preserving their separate case numbers and permission decisions.
Official case-page reporting only; neither the trial judgment nor Court of Appeal judgment was independently reviewed. The source summaries concern Ukrainian substantive law. Reciprocal links establish related issues, not formal consolidation or one combined merits decision.
