No. The filing of 17 October 2016 was late because the deadline expired on 10 October 2016.
The judgment was notified on 8 September 2016, so the 30-day period under Art. 100(1) LTF ended on 8 October 2016 and, because that day was a Saturday, was extended to Monday 10 October 2016 under Art. 45(1) LTF.
