1) … a person of a degree or quality of ordinary prudence would expect to occur or exist under the circumstances. 2) I probably would not word the ending of the sentence that way. I however, for lacking any context, do believe “such place“ here means similar or like place.

  • “Such” is a determiner quantifying the noun “place”.

Sorry, the second example should read:

'other such place.' I forgot to add 'other.' Do you think the meaning is still 'similar' or 'like'?

Is there a reference to your first example. I don't understand this use of such that

Thanks
