Provision of private opinions by the parties, Art. 253 of the Code of Civil Procedure They are not expert evidence, but constitute an important element of the procedural material and, in principle, should also be made available to the other party.

Private opinions prepared at the request of the parties before or in the course of the trial, are an explanation, taking into account special information, their position.

Private expert opinion is often a reason for the necessity to admit evidence from the opinion of another expert by the court.

Each party, in its well-understood interest, should, in the course of the proceedings, express some opinions on the matter covered by the dispute, comment on the opponent's position (Art. 230 of the Code of Civil Procedure) and support the presented theses with their own evidence, which the court, pursuant to Art. 232 of the Civil Procedure Code treats any other evidence from a party. The court, pursuant to Art. 244 of the Code of Civil Procedure is bound only by the content of official documents, while a private document, pursuant to Art. 245 of the Code of Civil Procedure proves that the person who signed it made a statement contained in the document, ie by submitting any document to the case, the party "says what he wants" - and the court is to assess its position. And such an assessment (as well as any evidence) is subject to further procedural assessment, in the sense that a court that "thinks badly" and issues judgments anyway may be reprimanded in the form of an effective appeal.

The ruling of the Supreme Court speaks of the procedural importance of private opinions: "The presentation by the parties of private opinions to which Art. 253 of the Code of Civil Procedure is a process phenomenon more and more frequent. Undoubtedly, without being an evidence from an expert opinion, they are part of the trial material and should be made available to the other party. Private expert opinions prepared at the request of the parties before the initiation of the process, whether they are an explanation, taking into account special information, their position Private expert opinion may constitute a premise for the necessity to admit a lot of evidence in the case, confirmed in an opinion or expert opinion by a person of public trust of an expert construction appraiser.
