Since you've new work already, how would you demonstrate to a court any loss?

If you do go legal, I hope that as soon as you were told the contract was over early, you started looking for your next contract, and can document it. You have a duty to mitigate your losses. If you just kicked back in the mistaken impression you were due money for no work because of your notice period, then that would reduce any settlement, possibly to zero, even if you won the case - which is by no means a certainty.
It is a loser mentality to throw good money (at lawyers) after bad (the hope you'll win the case), because your feelings were hurt. You're running a business - return best value for your shareholders, not your own sense of justice.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Your "job" was supplying services to the consultancy to help their end client on the end client's site.
Their end client told you directly they didn't need you anymore after a certain date but instead of listening to them and trying to mitigate your loss you ignored them.

No Breach!
In my opinion, there is no breach of contract. Notice is to be given if finishing contract early, yours came to a natural end on the date specified. You should have been looking for new contracts prior to end date, just in case there was no renewal.
Trying to make contracts & working practices outside IR35 scope, there are many clauses in contracts, as others have mentioned above, that nullify even early terminations.Comment
