The case raised by head of transport Marshall Poulton against Mark Turley, director of services for communities, is rare because it involves one director raising a complaint about another.
The roles of senior officers overlap in a number of aspects of their work, although as a director Mr Turley, whose salary is £123,525, is more senior. The council has declined to disclose Mr Poulton's salary.
