Given a metric space ⟨X,ρ⟩, consider its hyperspace of closed sets CL(X) with the Wijsman topology $τ_{W(ρ)}$. It is known that $⟨CL(X),τ_{W(ρ)}⟩$ is metrizable if and only if X is separable, and it is an open question by Di Maio and Meccariello whether this is equivalent to $⟨CL(X),τ_{W(ρ)}⟩$ being normal. We prove that if the weight of X is a regular uncountable cardinal and X is locally separable, then $⟨CL(X),τ_{W(ρ)}⟩$ is not normal. We also solve some questions by Cao, Junnila and Moors regarding isolated points in Wijsman hyperspaces.
