The central legal issue before the Court was the determination of whether a particular agreement constituted a legally binding contract. This involved an examination of the essential elements required for contract formation under Australian law.

The Court considered the surrounding circumstances and the conduct of the parties to ascertain whether they intended their agreement to be enforceable in law. The principles of contract law regarding offer, acceptance, and consideration were implicitly applied in assessing the validity of the agreement.
