The agency said in its complaint, filed in U.S. district court in San Francisco, that the companies planned to close after a vote of Black Knight shareholders on April 28. The FTC's administrative hearing on the deal will begin on July 12. The agency said the proposed transaction would mean higher fees, less innovation and fewer choices in the process of financing the purchase of a home. ICE said in a statement in March that it would "vigorously oppose" the FTC action.
