Spanish term or phrase: quiere llevar este proceso al campo de una discusión estéril

Estoy traduciendo unas cartas en las que el representante de una empresa le reclama a otra empresa que están retrasando a propósito un proceso de pago y que están actuando de mala fe inventando cada vez excusas nuevas.

"En conclusión, consideramos que el Sr. xx **quiere llevar este proceso al campo de una discusión estéril** cuando el interés de mi cliente es resolver esta situación lo antes posible, dando así por concluido este proceso de réplicas y contrareplicas."

Mil gracias por su ayuda

Explanation:
Una alternativa, refraseando; de repente me parecía que seguir demasiado de cerca aquella estructura de 'llevar este proceso al campo de' era un poco una camisa de fuerza...
'Useless' y 'futile' me parecen intercambiables, hasta 'fruitless' también.
