Got letter from the court, the DA gave negative advice to declare my dad missing.

Pretty confused as to his argumetns :

First he quotes the law
Not seen at his home adress for at least for 3 months , no adress, no news or known whereabouts , this results in uncertainty as to him being alive or dead

DA says , i don't think these parameters have been met because he left the hosue, with ID card, with money, told a mate he would be in Spain for short while.
And he was spotted in Shiphol trying to board a plane for Nairobi.

Eeh?

3 months
vs
"he left more then a year ago saying he went to Spain for a short while, tried to go to Nairobi"


To me it sounds like the DA is conflicting his own advice.

But, no sweat, i get to go to court. I find that mighty interesting, ain't got nothing to loose really. If i get a no, i saved myself 450 bucks by not letting a lawyer write the letter. And i definitely don't want to pay a lawyer to go argue it in court, that will cost me even more, with the risk of getting a no anyway, or even if i get a yes i still gotta pay it out of pocket an not get any thing back for it(all i ask is that the court put somebody in charge of his business while he is mia).


I find the DA confusing, because he quotes something that happend 1 year ago, as counter for the uncertainty when the law in fact states a 3 months period.
For me, to say we are not uncertain about his life or death, i would think one would have to sort of prove he is in fact alive?
How can you argue against uncertainty without showing proof of life or death?
