    You have got a resignation signed letter I presume so you are in the clear.
    A probation is exactly that as Dave said - after 3 months you part your ways. You really do not have to give reasons.

    Pretty much this.

    There was an interesting Labour Court case earlier this year where a university professor on probation argued that he became a permanent employee once his probationary period expired because his services weren't officially terminated (the university took its sweet time conducting a post-probation performance review). However, he couldn't substantiate his claim that the university created a reasonable expectation of permanent employment following his probation, so the Labour Court struck down his appeal.
