A320 ELAC Fault

Hi guys,
I'm an old foggie but new on the A320s.
The other day we had an ELAC2 failure in flight that was easily resolved by s/w off option (reset didn't work), however felt uneasy working on only one ELAC.
Post flight ground study revealed-
1. ELAC2 fault on ground is a no-go, while ELAC1 fault is a MEL. Any idea why? Could it be due to elevator actuators that these computers command? (ELAC2 -G & Y driven, ELAC1 -only B driven)
2. How come abnormal procedures don't cover ELAC1+2 fault?

Thanking you in advance. Inputs with references would be most appreciated.
