# §134.603. What is an adversary adjudication?


For purposes of this subpart, adversary adjudications are administrative proceedings before OHA which involve SBA as a party and which are required to be conducted by an Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”). These adjudications (“administrative proceedings”) include those proceedings listed in § [134.102 (a)](/cfr/13/134.102.md?p=a), [(i)](/cfr/13/134.102.md?p=i), and [(j)(1)](/cfr/13/134.102.md?p=j-1), but do not include other OHA proceedings such as those listed in [§ 134.102(k)](/cfr/13/134.102.md?p=k). In order for an administrative proceeding to qualify, SBA must have been represented by counsel or by another representative who enters an appearance and participates in the proceeding.
