In the broadest sense, it is which (if any) of the disputing parties is correct and should have the requested relief.
Each legal case may have one or more main questions (issues) to address. The supporting documentation normally spells out (1) what the issues are, (2) what type of relief is requested. Sometimes this is a dispute between two individuals, sometimes between the State/Government and an individual.
The judge must decide on the question of which if any of the parties is correct on each specific issue - with respect to the law, and any binding contracts in place. Then the judge must decide on what to do about it - who gets what "relief" or perhaps who goes to jail or must pay a fine.
