In 2011, Berezovsky brought a civil case against Abramovich, called Berezovsky v Abramovich,[63] in the High Court of Justice in London, accusing Abramovich of blackmail, breach of trust and breach of contract, and seeking over £3 billion in damages.[64]
On 31 August 2012, the High Court dismissed the lawsuit. The High Court judge stated that because of the nature of the evidence, the case hinged on whether to believe Berezovsky or Abramovich's evidence. The judge found Berezovsky to be "an unimpressive, and inherently unreliable witness, who regarded truth as a transitory, flexible concept, which could be moulded to suit his current purposes", whereas supported by Putin, Abramovich was seen as "a truthful, and on the whole, reliable witness".

In 2008, The Times reported that court papers showed (Abramovich which is called Mr A his inner circle) admitting that he paid billions of dollars for political favours and protection fees for shares of Russia's oil and aluminium assets
