If there's no contract, what obliges them to pay you? What establishes your hourly rate?

A previous engagement that has the same terms of payment but this time, without scope and SoW.

Did you or the client sign a document binding you to do work and them to pay you for it?

On the previous engagement, yes. This time, no.

This is all because we know each other and have had a previous professional working relationship. Everyone that worked there pretty much became my friends also.
