The Court is of the view that a party should bear the consequences of an appeal that arrives after the time-limit, where the errors are attributable to that party (see Pérez de Rada Cavanilles v. Spain, cited above, § 47, and Platakou v. Greece, no. 38460/97, § 39, ECHR 2001-I; contrast Rodriguez Valin v. Spain, no. 47792/99, § 28, 11 October 2001).
