Private legal relations in the context of digitization

The article presents the Authors' point of view regarding the use of digital technologies in various spheres of company life (private, public). At the same time, special attention is paid to the correlation between the traditional legal regulation of public relations and the digital form in which these relations can be clothed. The intention of the Authors was to determine the impact of digitization, the purpose of which is related to the transmission and dissemination of information, on the development of public institutions, in particular on the institute of law, as one of the most important and widespread tools for regulating public relations, and identifying problems related to this process, and ultimately clarifying the nature of digital law. The object of the study is private legal relations that arise between subjects when performing independent actions to realize their rights and, due to the use of modern digital technologies, are clothed in a digital form. The research used empirical methods of comparison, description, interpretation, as well as theoretical methods of formal and dialectical logic. Private scientific methods were used: the legal dogmatic and the method of interpretation of legal norms, analysis and synthesis. The results of the study convince that the further development of private legal relations should be carried out using digital platforms (digital forms), which, however, does not change the essence of these relations and does not indicate the existence of digital law as an independent branch in the Russian legal system.
