R. v. Khan [1990] 2 S.C.R. 531 is a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision that began a series of major changes to the hearsay rule and the rules regarding the use of children as witnesses in court. In this case, and subsequently in R. v. Smith (1992), R. v. B.(K.G.) (1993), R. v. U.(F.J.) (1995), R. v. Starr (2000), and finally, R. v. Khelawon (2006), the Court developed the “principled approach” to hearsay, where hearsay statements can be admitted if they are sufficiently reliable and necessary.
