One needs to leave an area near the bank of the river bare so that the sailors who need to pull the boats have a place to stand and pull.  A story is brought about a rabbi who refused to cut his trees down.  Although he was jsutified in his argument, another rabbi came by without checking properly into the details and had them cut down.  Various cases are brought where one may be wrong for doing something; however by law he can’t be forced to undo it.  In the context of this, the gemara discusses the laws of bar metzra – one has the right to buy his neighbor’s property and even buy it from the purchaser once it was sold.  In which cases do those laws not apply?
