The fact that some plaintiff allegedly won a lawsuit involving junk-science claims does NOT constitute the court "quietly confirming" the underlying claim. It doesn't establish the scientific truth of the claim. It might just mean the winning side did a better job tugging at heartstrings and the jury fell for the usual rhetoric along the lines of "these people over here are suffering and that vaguely-related company over there has lots of money you can give them, so you should."
Dumb lawsuits prevail all the time. I'd be interested to see some actual evidence that in fact the MMR Vaccine causes Autism, but you won't find any at the given link.
