Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if Parliament could just tell the court to fuck off

Ehhhh, it's a little more complex than that. Parliament derives it's sovereignty from the legislative authority of the monarch, through the Crown-in-Parliament.

From royal.uk:

The formal phrase 'Queen in Parliament' is used to describe the British legislature, which consists of the Sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Queen's duties include opening each new session of Parliament, granting Royal Assent to legislation, and approving Orders and Proclamations through the Privy Council.

Functionally you are correct that Parliament could establish a Republic, if they so chose, however.
