English translation: The appeal is inadmissible if it is made solely against the grounds of the decision

Law/Patents - Finance (general) / Zivnostensky list - rozhodnuti o zruseni registrace
Czech term or phrase: Odvolání je nepřípustné, směřuje-li jenom proti odůvodnění rozhodnutí.
This is an official document cancelling a taxpayer's registration as self-employed.

It references Act No. 280/2009 Coll. https://www.zakonyprolidi.cz/cs/2009-280
§ 109
(1) Příjemce rozhodnutí se může odvolat proti rozhodnutí správce daně, pokud zákon nestanoví jinak. Odvolání je nepřípustné, směřuje-li jenom proti odůvodnění rozhodnutí.

And I found a corresponding English version of this Act with a similar phrase:
http://www.czechlegislation.com/en/280-2009-sb

General provisions on appeal
§ 109
(1) The recipient may appeal a decision against the decision of the tax, unless the law provides otherwise. The appeal is admissible only if directed against the Decision.

But now I am all caught up in negatives and it's got me questioning myself on my logic of the correct version. Can someone refresh my memory on the rule for this kind of construction please?

Odvolání je nepřípustné, směřuje-li jenom proti odůvodnění rozhodnutí.

Your suggested translation seems to be in order, too, it is more literal than mine, perhaps even more accurate.

Notes to answerer
Asker: So it's definitely "inadmissible" and not "admissible" as per the translated code webpage. I know online translations are not reliable, but this one really made me doubt myself because of the -li construction after it. So it's mainly the negative vs. positive that I am checking. Thanks all so much.
