Court ruling
Hi, I'm wondering if there's a standard legal term for this in English, other than simply translating this directly. It appears as part of the record of a court ruling as follows:
Sagsøgtes ensidigt indhentede erklæringer kan anerkendes efter retsplejelovens § YYY
De bør imidlertid tillægges begrænset værdi, idet de netop er ensidigt indhentet samt det faktum, at erklæringerne er givet af ansatte ved XXXX.
Thanks for your help!

expert witness statement
It may just simply be an expert witness statement (which by definition would be unilateral since opposing counsel would not typically decide to hire the same experts), provided that there is legal equivalence in how they are used, etc.
Here is an example of an exert witness statement: https://www.italaw.com/sites/default/files/case-documents/it...
Your sample states that the statements were made by XXXX employees. If XXXX is one of he parties to the case, then it could hardly be deemed an expert opinion.
Below is some additional Danish context for how the term can be used: "Siden Højesteret ved kendelserne trykt i UfR 2007.2040HK, UfR 2008.2193 HK, og ikke mindst UfR 2008.2393 HK, har givet tilladelse til at anvende ensidigt indhentede sagkyndige erklæringer under rets- og voldgiftssager, har omfanget af disse været stærkt stigende" (https://www.dahllaw.dk/nyheder/84/16-jan-2017-ny-hoejesteret...
