You should read the District and Circuit Courts' opinions. The former recaps the facts underlying the legal claims against Breitling; they don't appear to be strong facts for a Title VII claim. They were insufficient to substantiate the sales rep's claim. The Circuit Court overturned the District Court because of a change in the law but, notably, it "express[ed] no opinion as to the proper resolution of Cargian's Title VII and state law claims on remand." In the end, the District court will reevaluate the case under the expanded law, but it will be stuck with the same facts.
Taken together, this all illustrates that neither court "automatically believed" the Plaintiff's legal claims or even "ruled upon" them in the plaintiff's favor.
