In all small claims cases wherein there has been no action of record during the preceding 12 months, the clerk of the Court shall mail notice to the parties that the case will be dismissed by the Court for want of prosecution unless within 30 days following the mailing, action of record is made or an application in writing is made to the Court and good cause shown why it should be continued as a pending case.  If such application is not made or good cause is not shown, the Court shall dismiss each such case without prejudice.  The cost of filing such order of dismissal with the clerk shall not be assessed against either party.
