London, England (CNN) — The father of a baby with a severe birth defect has agreed to let the child die, ending a British court battle against the baby’s mother, the judge in the case announced Tuesday.

The baby’s father had been fighting the mother and the hospital in London’s High Court.

The child — identified only as Baby RB — is 13 months old and suffers from congenital myasthenic syndrome, a rare genetic condition which means he cannot breathe on his own.
