Lord Janner has not arrived in court on Friday to face charges of child abuse.
The peer's legal team have applied for a "live link" to the Westminster Magistrates Court from Lord Janner's home.
Speaking in court, his lawyer Paul Ozin QC said the application to speak from home would be "where he is least likely to suffer and adverse reaction" due to his dementia. He added that if this was unacceptable, it may be possible for the peer to appear via video link from a police station or another court.
However, the prosecution under Louise Oakley have argued that such as link would not be acceptable within the law and that Lord Janner must appear as per the intial request. Ms Oakley further suggests that Lord Janner attend Wood Green Crown Court.
Mr Ozin, defending Lord Janner, said this suggestion would be considered by his team.

JANNER 'ABUSED CHILDREN IN PARLIAMENT'
Lord Janner was scheduled to appear in court at 9.45am in relation to 22 child abuse charges spanning a period from the 1960s to the 1980s.
His legal team have argued that the peer is unable to appear as he suffers from severe dementia due to Alzheimer's disease. Mr Ozin has also said his client is showing symptoms of Parkinson's disease and would be unfit to plead or attend any trial. He had appealed to the High Court to prevent Lord Janner being forced to appear.
The request was denied by Lady Justice Rafferty, sitting with Mr Justice Irwin, who said the peer had must appear - however briefly- in a magistrates court in order for the charges to be processed up to the crown court.
