Adjudication as a method of dispute resolution in international construction projects Abstract The subject of this thesis is an analysis of the use of adjudication as a relatively new, and in the Czech environment not yet well-studied, method of dispute resolution concerning a range of disputes arising between the subjects of contractual relationships in the field of construction projects containing a foreign element.

Antoš, Jakub ; Romancov, Michael (advisor) ; Riegl, Martin (referee)

The thesis presents specific examples of every above mentioned mode. In the case of accession, it is shown on the volcanic island Sabrina in the Atlantic Ocean, dating back to 1811; accretion is described by the example of Macao in far-east Asia; cession is demonstrated by the case of Alaska, purchased by the United States from Russia in 1867. Prescription and adjudication are shown via the case of Las Palmas Island next to the Philippines archipelago. Finally, the thesis briefly mentions annexation, which is...
