If you're on a desktop/laptop, if I remember rightly there's a
browser extension called "Don't F*** With Paste" that
circumvents such restrictions on copy/pasting.

I had the following response from the Adjudicator, further
advice appreciated.
"The Appellant should understand that the Adjudicator is not in
a position to give legal advice to either of the parties but
they are entitled to seek their own independent legal advice.
The Adjudicator's role is to consider whether or not the parking
charge has a basis in law and was properly issued in the
circumstances of each individual case. In all Appeals the
Adjudicator is bound by the relevant law applicable at the time
and is only able to consider legal challenges and not factual
mistakes nor extenuating or mitigating circumstances. Throughout
this appeal the Operator has had the opportunity consider all
points raised and could have conceded the appeal at any stage.
The Adjudicator who deals with this Appeal is legally qualified
and each case is dealt with according to their understanding of
the law as it applies and the legal principles involved. A
decision by an Adjudicator is not legally binding on an
Appellant who is entitled to seek their own legal advice if they
so wish.
The signage in the roadway where the Appellant parked is
prominent, clear and unequivocal; controlled land - no parking.
The Appellant's vehicle is recorded as entering the site at
11.16, the vehicle turning around and parking at 11.17, the
driver leaving the vehicle, later returning at 13.53 and driving
off.
Having considered all the issues raised and the evidence
submitted, I am satisfied that the Appellant should have seen
the prominent signage, should have realised that parking here
was not allowed, and the operator has established that the
Parking Charge was properly issued in accordance with the law.
This appeal therefore has to be dismissed. "

You were warned that the IAS is a kangaroo court. Their decision
is not binding on you and you DO NOT pay it.
These points have not been addressed by the 'barista' that
penned that response:
1. Keeper liability not addressed. Your core PoFA points (no
period of parking, no relevant land, defective 9(2)(e)(i)/(f),
posting) weren’t engaged with. If PoFA fails, the keeper cannot
be liable—full stop—so signage/behaviour is irrelevant to the
keeper.
2. Prohibitive signage = no contract. “Controlled land – no
parking” is prohibitive. That is not an offer capable of
acceptance; it sounds in trespass (if anything) and only the
landholder could sue for nominal loss. Contractual “charges”
don’t flow from a prohibition.
3. Unsupported factual findings. The adjudicator states the
driver “parked,” “left the vehicle,” returned at 13:53, then
drove off. Unless the operator filed continuous video or patrol
notes, that’s speculation from entry/exit timestamps, not proof
of a parking period exceeding any consideration/grace time.
4. Landowner authority ignored. No contemporaneous, signed
agreement meeting PPSCoP §14.1(a)–(j) appears to have been
produced. That goes to standing. It was side-stepped.
5. Period of parking still missing. A padded single timestamp
(“immediately preceding… 13:54”) is not a PoFA 9(2)(a) “period
of parking”. Your Brennan point stands.
6. Site identification gap. If the NtK only said “Nova” without
a full address/postcode, 9(2)(a) “relevant land” identification
fails.
You can now safely ignore all debt recovery letters that are
going to come your way. Debt collectors are powerless to do
anything except to try and intimidate the low-hanging fruit on
the gullible tree to pay up out of ignorance and fear.
Come back if/when you receive a Letter of Claim (LoC).

I've now received a "letter before claim" from Moorside Legal, I
assume I still wait until this changes into a claim ?
