The main legal issue for determination by the court in this scenario is whether Julian and Jeremy had entered into a binding contract for the sale of the bike pants. A contract requires an offer, acceptance, consideration, and an intention to create legal relations. In this case, Julian made an offer by asking Jeremy if he was interested in the bike pants, and Jeremy accepted by agreeing to take them.

If the court determines that there was a binding contract, then Julian may be entitled to payment from Jeremy.
