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 currently in a Spanish hospital 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 in Prague.
They went to southern 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 Europe arrest warrant issued by the UK.
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 children's 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 to Prague from Spain.
"We were asked by Spanish and UK specialists if we are ready and how the transportation will be provided.
"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 claimed it had been sent Ashya's medical records and believed proton therapy was suitable for him.
A fundraising page set up to help pay for the 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, lus living costs, after donors pledged £35,000 in 24 hours.
