Spanish term or phrase: balotario

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?

Best wishes. Sian.

(witness cross-examination) prepared questionnaire; (to the court) list of queries

Explanation:
Not clear who has compiled the balotario

If it's Counsel in preparatiopn for cross-examination of witnesses or, as in an English & Welsh originating (construction) summons, asking the court for guidance in interpretation of deeds and docs or even of a translation.

One thing is for sure: it is nowt to do with star Afro-Italian footballer Mario Barwuah Balotelli....

Asker: Thanks Edward, points to follow. Best. Sian.

Asker: 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!

Notes to answerer

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.
