Dr. Ian Spry is a retired Melbourne Queen's Counsel. He is the author of Equitable Remedies,[1] a legal text on the law of equity which is used as a reference work in common law jurisdictions. Sir Owen Dixon, former Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, described it as "the best legal book to have come out of Australia." It is a more opinionated book than one usually finds in law, in which Spry makes some pointed criticisms of the famous equity judges of the past.

Spry is the son of Brigadier Sir Charles Chambers Fowell Spry, CBE, DSO (26 June 1910 – 28 May 1994) who, from 1950 to 1970, was the second Director-General of Security, the head of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).

In his personal life, Spry was a litigant in the High Court decision of Kennon v Spry.[2] This was a landmark case that Spry lost to his ex-wife in a dispute involving family trusts. Following this event, some controversial letters were circulated criticizing the judges who made the decision, in which Spry appeared to accuse them of bias or incompetence.[3]
