Enelow–Ettelson rule (en-[schwa]-loh–et-[schwa]l-s[schwa]n). The defunct doctrine that an order staying federal-court proceedings pending the determination of an equitable defense (such as arbitration) is an injunction appealable under 28 USCA § 1292(a)(1) if the proceeding stayed was an action that could have been maintained as an action at law before the merger of law and equity. Enelow v. New York Life Ins. Co., 293 U.S. 379, 55 S.Ct. 310 (1935); Ettelson v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 317 U.S. 188, 63 S.Ct. 163 (1942). [Cases: Federal Courts 573.]
