The "court case" sounds like it was a civil matter, not a criminal charge. In that case, it would not show up on a PCC, win or lose.
If he was charged with a crime and was acquitted in criminal court, he will have no record of conviction (at least not for that occasion).
My uncertainty in the matter stems from your words about an "argument over an accusation his employer made". An "accusation" usually imports some criminal connotation. For example, the employer accused him of stealing company funds or other assets. Civil claims are usually couched in language such as the employer "alleged".... For example, a civil case might flow from the employer's allegation that the employee breached his employment contract by wrongfully soliciting the employers customers, or was negligent in causing damage to the employer's equipment, or some such. The employer can commence a civil suit and the matter can proceed to trial and, if the claim is unproven, it will be dismissed. That's quite a different thing from an acquittal on a criminal charge. So, in the case you mention, it's not altogether clear if we are talking about a criminal or civil matter, but I suspect the latter.
