This word appears in a cross examination of a witness who refers to "un balotario de preguntas". The country is Peru. The context suggests this may be a list of some sort, for reference.
Does anyhow out there know for definite what this is?

Note from asker:
| Many thanks Adrian. In the end I had to go with "set of questions" for deadline reasons, but I can see that your explanation is more accurate. The context I had did not make it clear who was the originator of the questions. Could have been counsel as you suggest or a state agency involved in the proceedings. Anyhow, thanks once again and here are the points. Best. Sian. |

| Thanks Edward, points to follow. Best. Sian. |
| Hi again Edward, and just to say that I decided to go with Adrian's version in the end, as this was more specific. Having said that there is no doubt that in both cases it is a "set of questions" . If I could split the points I would! |
