Here then is one example:

Person A buys a vase at a second hand shop in complete innocence. Turns out the vase was stolen, but person A had no way of knowing that, and acting in complete innocence bought the vase. Person B originally owned the vase. Both people really have a right to the vase. The law recognizes the prior claim of person B- since you cannot take good title from a thief even though you are innocent yourself. But all I see is a conflict of "rights" resolved in the most expedient and prudent way for public policy. It's a choice between innocents- they happen all the time. Two people need the same kidney- they are both equally sick. A mother will die if her baby is to be born. The right to free association versus the right to travel. and on and on and on

Your imagination is clearly limited if you can't think of at least a hundred examples.
