London, March 29 A postgraduate student who sued her British Indian landlord after getting heavily drunk and falling from the roof, suffering serious injuries, is not to get any compensation, a court ruled.Anna Mayers was celebrating her birthday with few of her close friends in February 2002 on the garage roof of her rented house when she accidentally stepped backwards and fell. She suffered head and orthopaedic injuries.Mayers later filed a case against house owners Piyush Patel and Naginbhai Patel claiming compensation.Mayers argued through her lawyers that the Patels should have warned her about the dangers of going on to the roof, and had failed to properly protect the skylight, the London Paper reported.'I am quite satisfied that they were trespassers. They had no authority to go on to the garage roof ... it was not part of their premises as demised in their tenancy,' London's High Court judge Sir John Blofeld said Wednesday.'They had no authority to go on it in the circumstances which arose on that night after dark with friends, and when they had a certain amount of drink inside them.'
