The wording in the contract usually gives a pretty good indication.

I don't see the problem in asking and getting to know about these things...

I was asking whether it was legal.
It's like saying to someone you are NOT allowed to leave. What if you have personal reasons or other?

Soon as he answers my question I will give him lots of ill-informed advice : I hope he has the good sense to ask someone sensible instead of me.

Well, 4 weeks but with a few clauses in it like if I don't work for x days they can terminate contract etc... but that's just standard practice.
