The article is devoted to the problem connected with the absence of a systematic methodological understanding of the researches in the sphere of private law conceptual foundations in modern conditions of digitalization. There are many different scientific researches in this sphere, but they are scattered and chaotic, they usually connected with narrowly applied issues of civil law regulation and civil procedure. There isn’t unified research methodology in this sphere. In this regard, the author of the article considers that it is necessary to offer his own approach. The main author’s thesis is the following: the study of the conceptual private law foundations and civil procedure foundations in the modern conditions of digitalization should be carried out as a fundamental private law study. Firstly, there is no need to search the new methodological basis for researches connected with the law transformation in the conditions of digitalization. Secondly, case-by-case studies seem to be the most useful. The construction of conceptual scientific provisions should be carried out by moving from practice to theory. Third, digital law should not be considered as a separate field. Thus, the study of private law foundations and civil procedure foundations should be continued within the framework of civil law science.
