White, J.,
concurring.
A cause of action in our law is a set of facts for which the law affords relief. First Nat. Bank of Omaha v. State, 241 Neb. 267, 488 N.W.2d 343 (1992). A cause of action is not the legal theory which seeks to justify the relief sought. The Legislature has abolished causes of action for alienation of affection and criminal conversation. See Neb. Rev. Stat. § 25-21,188 (Reissue 1989). Therefore, however described, the conduct complained of is no longer grounds for relief.
Shanahan and Fahrnbruch, J J., join in this concurrence.
