If an application for rehearing is filed, then such action must be filed within thirty days after that application is denied or deemed denied or, if the application is granted, within thirty days after the issuance of the commissioner's final decision on rehearing. The successor stock company or any defendant may require the plaintiff in such an action to give security for the reasonable attorney fees which may be incurred by any party to the action.
