"The contract doesn?t have to be in writing, but you?re entitled to a written statement of the main terms within two months of starting work.
The contract is made as soon as you accept a job offer, and both sides are then bound by its terms until it?s properly ended (usually by giving notice) or until the terms are changed (usually by mutual agreement)."
So it probably is perfectly legal for them to say that your terms are the same as last time you worked for them.
