A woman who won a $330,000 federal jury award against Krispy Kreme Doughnuts wanted to sweeten the outcome by adding attorney fees, but the trial judge refused to hold a hearing to decide whether the pastry purveyor’s tactics were frivolous. 

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit felt otherwise, ruling Monday that she can have another bite of courtroom cruller by ordering a new trial and mandating that — if a new jury again awards damages for her injuries — she must also be allowed a hearing to determine whether her legal fees can be sprinkled on top.
