material issues in litigation
'Material', here, would mean 'issues that are covered by existing law, so that they can be considered by a court', an adjective for the noun 'issues'. Naturally, there are many ways to say this basic concept, depending on the context of the source document and the wording in that text. The source country and target country may also affect the most-preferable translation.
This wording would be more appropriate for a civil suit, rather than a criminal proceeding; or at least for an appeal on a criminal case, rather than for the underlying criminal trial/hearings.

: I cannot see how you read "material issues" into this given we have no context other than the phrase

Actually, my wording is a direct translation, English - English, of Nerino'sgeneral definition into U.S. legalese according to Black's law dictionary. However, I agree with you that more context is needed for definitive translation of the Query. Regards!
