It is shown, within constructive mathematics, that the unit ball B 1 ( H ) of the set of bounded operators on a Hilbert space H is weak‐operator totally bounded. This result is then used to prove that the weak‐operator continuity of the mapping T → AT on B 1 ( H ) is equivalent to the existence of the adjoint of A.
