Court hears Harbinson firm dissolved after completing work related to the Vitals investigation

Court expert Jeremy Harbinson dissolved his firm after completing work related to the Vitals magisterial inquiry, a court heard on Thursday.  

The court continued hearing evidence in proceedings concerning freezing and seizure order related to the hospitals concession case.

During the hearing, testimony was given by Dorothy Brown, the liquidator of Harbinson Forensics, through an audio-visual connection.

She mentioned the liquidation process began on 11 October 2024 and was concluded on 21 February 2026, when the company was officially dissolved. The company was directed by Vitals investigation specialist Jermey Harbinson along with his wife.

Dorothy Brown told the court the company ceased operations after completing all the work that it had been hired to carry out. She also explained that when she was appointed as liquidator, there were no outstanding claims against the company.

When the defence asked about Harbinson’s location, Dorothy Brown stated that she did not know Harbinson’s current whereabouts and noted that her last communication with him took place on 18 November 2025.

The court additionally heard that €91,971 was paid to Harbinson and his wife, with the funds transferred to their bank accounts in the United Kingdom on 16 October 2024.

Dorothy Brown stated that the choice to dissolve the company had been made earlier in 2024 by Harbinson and his wife.

Questions were also raised by the court about data linked to the Vitals investigation, with Dorothy Brown confirming that she had been instructed to keep the company’s data for a period of 12 months following its dissolution.

She added that if access to the documents is needed after this period, a formal application must be submitted to the liquidator.

Judge Edwina Grima presided over the case.
