Description

The Supreme Court of Canada heard R. v. Grant on this date. This is a case that later became a leading Charter decision on excluding evidence under section 24(2). Supreme Court hearings are key milestones because they frame the arguments that may reshape Canadian legal standards. The case is widely associated with how courts assess the impact of Charter breaches on trial fairness and public confidence. While the judgment came later, the hearing date is a fixed procedural event.
