German term or phrase: Parteibehauptung

It is not fair ... without [X, Y, Z] to judge in favour of the claims of one side. ?

assertion/claim by one of the parties
Explanation:
It is not reasonable .... to base any conclusions on a disputed assertion by one of the parties.

"abstellen" here could be translated as rely on, base conclusions on, follow, believe or similar.
The word "judge" could be used in a general language sense of forming an opinion, but this is a court context, and so the word "judge" should be reserved for the official ruling of the court, and this does not appear to be meant. (Perhaps if you put away your scissors and give us some context, this would give me cause to revise this judgement, ahem, sorry, opinion).
