Nova Scotia, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Campbell, 2002 NSCA 35 (CanLII):
Out of court statements were traditionally excluded by operation of the hearsay rule which precludes receipt of evidence of a statement made to a witness by a person, who is not himself called as a witness, to establish the truth of what is contained in the statement. (See Subramaniam v. Public Prosecutor, [1956] 1 W.L.R. 965 (P.C.) at p. 970)
