Four Metropolitan Police officers are to face misconduct charges in the case of a black man who was allegedly assaulted 11 years ago.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission has ordered disciplinary hearings for the officers involved in case of Sylbert Farquharson.
Mr Farquharson was awarded £243,488 in 2003 alleging that he was assaulted and racially abused by officers in 1995.
Scotland Yard said the hearing will take place in due course.
The incident involving Mr Farquharson began when a black businessman was stopped and searched for drugs outside his own premises in Landor Road, Stockwell.
During the search, a second black man, Stephen Smith, who worked for a local taxi firm, tried to explain that the first man was the owner of the business they were outside.
Both men were handcuffed and arrested.
Mr Farquharson, who is Mr Smith's cousin, then arrived delivering bread to the business.
He was told to go away but was then followed by two police officers, knocked to the ground and handcuffed, it was alleged.
The cuffs sawed into his wrists causing permanent damage and preventing him from ever working as a delivery driver again.
He was then allegedly racially abused at a police station.
Mr Farquharson later brought a civil case against the force, which resulted in one of the biggest ever damages payouts awarded against the police.
The two other men arrested with Mr Farquharson settled similar civil claims out of court for £80,000, including costs, and the Met did not admit liability.
In his judgment at Central London County Court at the time, Judge Michael Dean QC said he was "quite satisfied" the racial abuse of Mr Farquharson took place and that it was "completely unjustified" and "disgraceful".
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said: "Mr Farquharson's allegations relate to: fairness and impartiality, politeness and tolerance, use of force and abuse of authority, performance of duties and general conduct."
A spokeswoman for Scotland Yard said the officers being investigated remained on full duties.
