Dunno about Britain, but in Finland there's two main kinds of employing
contracts - one's done for a defined period (eg. 1 year) and the other
one is until otherwise is chosen. On the latter one there usually is a
notice time (2 weeks to 2 months), on which either part is allowed to
snap off the contract at any time. After that time the employee can snap
off the contract and have a ending notice time (also usually 2 weeks to
2 months). The employer is also allowed to do that, but they need a good
reason for it.

The case you defined would drop to the starting notice time here.
