alleged question/point of fact

A question of fact is a factual dispute between litigants that must be resolved by the jury at trial. It is an issue that is material to the outcome of the case and requires an interpretation of conflicting views on the factual circumstances surrounding the case.

A question of fact receives the same treatment in a bench (non-jury) trial as it does in a jury trial.
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Point of fact

Because an alleged question of fact exists as to when the triggering event occurred, appellant contends that the jury should have determined the date of onset for appellee's disease.

you can dispense with the "to" here, it is just "facts attributed." This is standard terminology in both Hispanic and English legal speak.
