Sec. 134.503  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 Sec. 134.102 (a), (i), and (j)(1), but do 
not include other OHA proceedings such as those listed in 
Sec. 134.102(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.
