Private Parking Scrutiny and Advice Panel set to review code of practice.

Rule of practice reviewed after BBC reported on case of Rosey Hudson .

She was taken to court by Excel Parking after taking longer than five minutes to pay.

Her case was eventually dropped, with other motorists raising similar concerns.

Updated rules will be brought in from Monday by the PPSAP panel.

Government says it will set out details on plans for a statutory parking code of practice "as soon as possible" Rosey Hudson originally contacted the BBC because she wanted to warn others about what was happening to her.

She was under a huge amount of stress as a result of legal proceedings by Excel Parking .

Hundreds of drivers have contacted BBC with their own stories of being issued PCNs.
