Any person who has been legally damaged by a final order or decision of the Mental Health Department may have a review of such decision in the circuit court, provided a sworn complaint is filed within 15 days of the date of such order or decision, charging that such order or decision was arbitrary, illegal or capricious; and provided further that security be given to cover court costs and costs of preparing the record of the proceedings before the Mental Health Department, should the said order be upheld by the court.
