In any such action it shall not be necessary that actual damages to the plaintiff be alleged or proved, but, where alleged and proved by a plaintiff other than the department, the plaintiff in the action shall be entitled to recover from the defendant the actual damages sustained by him in addition to such injunctive relief and costs of suit and reasonable attorney fees.
