The developer of one of Auckland's biggest sub-regional centres is suing the Auckland Council for $33 million.

The council in turn is asking the High Court to order Westgate's developers to pay it more than $11.8 million which it says is owed.

The pair have filed claims in the High Court in a lengthy and complicated dispute related to the way the Westgate Town Centre is evolving in Massey in the city's north-west.
