Short answer
Form E questionnaire enquiries should identify the court timetable, Form E served, questionnaire questions, missing documents, bank or business disclosure, property valuations, pension records, replies already given and any hearing or negotiation date. Legal4U cannot decide what disclosure must be compelled or whether a financial proposal is fair.
