In a case decided today the 6th Circuit abrogated its rule on limiting fees in claims for fees under the Civil Rights Act that had prevailed in that circuit since Coulter v. Tennessee, 805 F.2d 146, 151 (6th Cir. 1986) (setting a cap on fees for fees). Thus claims for fees under the Civil Rights Act allow prevailing parties to also claim fees for the time spent having the fees due them under the main case awarded.
