property rights vs. public interest theme
There is a situation in which we must decide whether someone's lawful right to their property outweighs some other issue that is important to society at large. For example, can the government take your land in order to build a highway? Temporarily prevent you from using your land in order to excavate a site of archaeological interest?
Examples
In tz1985e3x04 "The Hunters", a real estate developer quarreled with an archaeologist over who had a right to do what on a piece of land. The archaeologist wanted time to study some pre-historic cave drawings, while the developer wanted no further delay in beginning a construction project.
