Al Fayed claimed 'poor health' when police investigated sexual assault allegations.
Alleged victim Pelham Spong reported to officers in 2017 that the tycoon had assaulted her a decade before.
Police said they were "unable to obtain an account from the suspect owing to his poor state of health" Ms Spong's lawyers say police should have been more thorough in checking medical evidence provided to them.
Ms Spong said: "More women did, in fact, come forward to tell their stories of abuse to the Met , and others had before me and it didn't make any difference" Her lawyer Ms McCawley asked: "Who were the decision makers who allowed Fayed to get a complete pass here?" The IOPC can either reject the complaint, hold its own investigation, or pass case to Met for investigation.
