In any action by the fund to recover under this section, the fund may recover all its costs and, in the discretion of the court, its reasonable attorney's fees involved in the action provided demand for payment has been made at least thirty days prior to commencement of an action. Demand for payment under this section shall stay the running of any statute of limitations for thirty days. This section applies to any claim filed after April 1, 1988.
