A landmark ruling could see thousands of parking tickets scrapped because they have been illegally issued by spy camera cars.
Drivers have been issued with parking penalties based on photographic evidence gathered by the new generation of Smart cars with periscope-mounted cameras.
But one driver, who appealed against the penalties because there were no warnings that cameras were in operation, has seen her fines quashed at a tribunal, which could pave the way for other motorists to have penalties scrapped.
'It is a landmark ruling and it could open the flood gates to thousands of other drivers who could lodge similar appears to obtain a refund of fines.
