    The question is whether they were negligent. If you reported the fault and they failed to fix it, this might qualify as negligence. If they haven't been maintaining the gate propertly and that's why it keeps on breaking, that might qualify as negligence.

    If they failed to repair it in a reasonable amount of time, the law would not normally expect a car park gate to be repaired instantly as it's normally not reasonably possible
