The Grenada-born jurist worked in many of the Commonwealth countries of the Caribbean after receiving a Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of London in 1971. In 1972 he was called to the bar of England and Wales by the Middle Temple.

In 1985, the Judicial and Legal Services Commission of the Caribbean Community appointed Redhead to be a High Court Judge of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court.
In 1997, he became an Appeals Court Judge of the same court. Since retiring from the Court in 2003, he has twice been re-appointed as an Acting High Court Judge of the Court from 2004 to 2006 and he was again appointed in 2007.
As a High Court Judge, Redhead had been assigned to reside in and hear cases from a number of countries, including St Kitts and Nevis, Montserrat, Anguilla, and St Lucia. His most recent appointment has been to reside in and hear cases from the British Virgin Islands.
He is survived by his wife June, children and grandchildren.
