Chris Gard and Connie Yates want permission to take the 11-month-old home for his final days.
But Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) said it was not practical to provide the level of life-support treatment to Charlie at the couple’s London home.
It says a hospice would be a more appropriate place for him.
The court hearing is due to resume at 14:00 BST.
