A High Court judge has ruled that brain tumour patient Ashya King can be flown to the Czech Republic for specialist treatment.
Mr Justice Baker approved the move following telephone discussions between lawyers representing Ashya's parents and the hospital in Southampton where he was being treated.
He is expected to give more details of the agreement reached at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London on Monday.
Five-year-old Ashya is expected to be flown to the Czech capital Prague later today.
Ashya's parents Brett and Naghemeh King answer questions from the media He is currently in hospital in the coastal town of Malaga in southern Spain after being made a ward of court.
That happened after his mother and father took him from Southampton General without permission to receive proton beam therapy, which is not available on the NHS.
They went to Spain where they have a property they planned to sell to pay for the treatment, which costs tens of thousands of pounds.
Soon after Brett and Naghemeh King, who have six other children, were detained under a European arrest warrant issued by the UK.
Mr and Mrs King arrive to see Ashya in hospital They were freed from prison on Tuesday night after the case against them was dropped amid a public backlash, and were later reunited with their son at the Materno-Infantil Hospital in Malaga.
Earlier, the Czech Proton Therapy Centre in Prague said they would help transport Ashya and his parents to the city.
Spokeswoman Iva Tatounova told Sky News: "We have a private jet ready when needed to transfer Ashya from Spain.
"We were asked by Spanish and UK specialists if we are ready and how the transportation will be provided.
The Proton Therapy Centre in Prague "We told them we are ready and we can arrange it. If the court allows it and the parents agree with the treatment we can transport them here."
The centre says it has seen Ashya's medical records and believes proton therapy will be suitable for him. It added it can provide all the care he needs.
Once Ashya arrives there Mr Justice Baker said he will cease to be a ward of court.
A fundraising page set up to help pay for his treatment has so far raised more than £41,000, while charity Kids'n'Cancer UK said they have agreed to pay the £100,000 needed for the therapy, plus living costs, after donors pledged £35,000 in 24 hours.
Ashya receiving treatment in hospital Mr and Mrs King say they removed Ashya from Southampton General Hospital because they were not happy with the treatment on offer there.
They say they informed staff of their plans to take him abroad although they did not give a date for fear they might be stopped.
In a statement issued after the judge's ruling, the hospital said: "Today's judgement will allow Ashya to get the treatment he urgently needs without any further delays.
"Throughout the period that we cared for Ashya and over the last few days, our only interest has been his health, medical treatment and welfare.
"We will continue to support any clinicians involved in his future care with advice and information."
