The right of support is with the lower neighbor I assume in this case?
That right includes supporting your driveway and tree. Any half decent retaining wall will be anticipating the surcharges from a driveway. Council usually require walls on boundaries to assume a driveway even if there isn't one there now?
from that link above.
I suggest that your best course of action is to ask your solicitor to write a letter to your neighbour setting out that your neighbour’s excavation of their land has caused your land to subside and that as a consequence you will be seeking damages. If your neighbour continues to dispute the matter you can proceed to the District Court
you need to go on the offensive.
The nieghbor is trying to make the problem yours when in fact it is theirs.
