David Norris, 48, could face a hearing as early as May this year, but a date is yet to be set.
Mr Lawrence, 18, was murdered by a gang of racists in south-east London in 1993, but only two of his killers have faced justice – Gary Dobson and Norris, who were jailed for life in 2012.
The original police investigation into the 18-year-old’s death was marred by institutional racism in the Metropolitan Police, incompetence and alleged corruption.
Norris was jailed for a minimum of 14 years and three months for murder in January 2012 at the end of an Old Bailey trial that hinged on tiny traces of forensic evidence.
