I agree with you that fairness means considering and balancing the competing interests in a limited resource. If two people want to fight over a stretch of sand to lay their towel on a deserted public beach, we'd think they were nuts. If two people wanted to fight over which one of them got a parking place in the parking lot of a crowded mall on Christmas Eve, we'd understand.

We do resolve the interests by rules, but usually they are rules of thumb, IMO. The balancing process is so idiosyncratic and ad hoc we can't have laws for this.
