Given a metric space $\langle X,\rho \rangle$, consider its hyperspace of closed sets $CL(X)$ with the Wijsman topology $\tau_{W(\rho)}$. It is known that $\langle{CL(X),\tau_{W(\rho)}}\rangle$ 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 $\langle{CL(X),\tau_{W(\rho)}}\rangle$ being normal. In this paper we prove that if the weight of $X$ is a regular uncountable cardinal and $X$ is locally separable, then $\langle{CL(X),\tau_{W(\rho)}}\rangle$ is not normal. We also solve some questions by Cao, Junnilla and Moors regarding isolated points in Wijsman hyperspaces.
